As far as I remember it was thru my mother’s ad agency when I was in my teens. I liked the buzz in their agency but didn’t like the type of jobs they had on at that time. Nonetheless, I started to craft little mishaps on those ancient computers with very basic software. I remember it being very intriguing and tempting. Back then, when I was in a band with my mates, we were doing all sorts of artwork for our demos, gig posters … then I stopped for a while to re-think what I wanted to really do and naturally picked up my passion for illustration where I left it off.

Which artists did you first look at for inspiration? Which artists do you look at now?

I love colours and shapes, emotions and feeling that any piece of work puts across. There’s stacks of incredible artists out there who amaze me on so many different levels, each in different way. As we work in the digital era not only it’s the idea behind the work that counts, but also the approach and finesse that keeps me intrigued, wanting to know more about the way of their thought. Personally I don’t have any favourites as such, there’s a handful of websites that I check now and then but mainly try to go thru blogs and portals to see what’s fresh out there.
