Excerpt from the interview by Mickey Lu for Illustration.org
April 2008


How did you first get started in art? What was it that caught your interest initially?

As far as I remember it was trhu 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.

What goals did you first set for your artwork? What are your goals now?

Foremostly it’s my satisfaction as well as the client’s. I consider myself most of the times as a commercial artist, I do this
for the living and live of commissions which happen to be of business/commercial nature. To have a happy client but a piece of crap work isn’t my style. I love what I do and I keep longing to make the next piece of my work to be, again, the top of my portfolio regardless of the commission size. It’s great to share my work with people, it’s great it can be seen in many places by one or hundreds at any time.

So back then when I was setting my foot in the world of illustration, I wanted to wow people with my work and keep being good at it. The plan is still the same, topped up with a hefty amount of happiness while I working.

How important do you consider art to your daily life?

Considering the many forms art have, it’s around us everywhere in those amazing forms. I guess life would be so dull without all the niceness that surrounds us. Indeed, there’s some bad stuff too, but we should know how to avoid it or even learn from it’s mistakes.

What is art to you?

Art to me is anything that inspires the person on the other end. If it evokes any kind of emotions, then it works well :)

What do you think your style says about you?


It must say I never hold in stand still. I’ve got my signature style, where I feel at home, and I am working to evolve it everyday, little by little.
