History
– How and when did you become an illustrator?
Drawing’s in my genes, most of my cousins have talent. So I used to doodle ever since I can remember. As the time past it became more and more serious and for the past couple of years I’ve become a full-time professional.
– What have you worked before an artist?
Anything I could think of. I was a laundry-man, cleaning-man, driver…I was a curator at the art gallery for some time, I worked at construction sites. I was also a lifeguard. I just cruised around looking for any opportunity that came my way.
-Where do you work and what are you working on at the moment?
I work for Swiss bankers. Seriously. I do illustrations for them.
– Favorite and good artists for you?
Everyone who can art basically. I love art and I love artists. Skottie Young, Brett Parson, and Denis Zilber maybe a bit more than others.
– Favorite drink?
Cold beer after hard work.
– Favorite place?
Beach somewhere where it’s warm and nice and sunsets are amazing. California or Hawaii.
– Favorite movie?
I don’t know…I watch movies only when with friends so it doesn’t really matter which it is.
– Advice to young artists:
Don’t give up. And enjoy it, as much as you can. That’s the point. You have a gift, share it with the rest of us. I can’t wait to see what you can give to us.
– Your strong side?:
Speed and imagination, I just never run out of it.
– Sports?
I used to be a professional swimmer. Now I hit the gym and I run marathons and Ultra-marathons.
