Tell us a little bit more about the artwork, what does this piece mean to you and your inspiration for it?

I wanted to create something using the universe of the tattoo, and the old ornaments. I mixed them and it created this artwork. I was interested by the old ornament by seeing them during history or Art class.

Tell us about yourself, where do you live, favorite thing to do, why art as a profession?

I live in Lille, a city in the north of France. I just completed my Plastic Arts diploma, with multimedia speciality. I’ve been working as webdesigner lately. All these years I have been interested in graphic arts. I like drawing weird things, fairly dark, with black-lines and patterns. Sometimes there is a theme, sometimes it's instantaneous: just to draw an idea.

How would you describe your own style of art and how did you develop your style?

My style is a kind of funky style, I love the heavy black lines. The main things I love to draw in my univers are from the urban art. I am attracted by the movement that can take a line. This aspect will not only create a pattern, a volume, but also the movement. When it's too smooth, too clean I can not find it interesting. This also allows me not to represent reality, but a work of imagination.

If you could visit only one new place in the world outside of your home country, where would it be and why?

I’d love to visite the mayan monuments. They were advanced in Art, and I find their creation really interesting. In fact, I’m more attracted because they didn’t seem to represent the real life, I mean you can see they created mostly kind of mosnters, masks and all.

What's your day job and do you have any big plans for your creative work?

Actually I’m in vacation, but I hope I’ll find another webdesigner job. I can’t live thanks my Art for the moment !

Tell us something random, help us be inspired to buy your shirt.

Everytime I wear my designs on a shirt, I’m always asked where they could buy it, I always answer it’s my creation and I don’t think you’ll be able to find it again... so you should buy it right now !
