HOW DID YOU COME TO ART:
first it was by skateboards decks designs, i reproduced a lot of them. After when i couldn’t lift my body anymore to jump over stairs, i began graffiti, and after many years a started to be interrested of tattoo designs.

DESCRIBE YOUR KIND OF ART:
my stuff is about some newschool and biomechanical i tried to do but all over what i prefer is creepy japanese styles, i found some tales or just some characters and I do it with my own style. In many times with a lot of blood or in some position which explain that it will be so soon!

YOU PREFER TO WORK WITH:
watercolors of course but sometimes i use promarkers or pens and pencils. And when I go out it’s for using my spraypaint!

HOW DID YOU COME TO ART:
i surfing a lot on the web always searching some news tales or pics of anything. it can be a greek statue with a fighting warrior that I transformed in a Oni or whatever! I buy a lot of books too (comics, traditionnal art books, sketchbooks..) what could inspire me.

WHAT ELSE DO YOU LIKE BESIDES PAINTING:
i listen a lot of music mainly irish punk and heavy metal. I watch a lot of movies, too much i think, i better had to drawand paint. But when i draw a listen audiobooks. It keeps me quite.

HOPES FOR YOUR FUTURE:
In september i moved to started an apprenticeship by Henrik (www.henriktattoo.com) in Toulouse France. They’re 4 tattoists + me. A really good crew with a good mood. I searched for a while before a found it, I’m proud that he gave me my chance, so I ‚ll really do my best to not disappoint him.
