Since high school (I am 25 now) me and my friends were always passionate about hip hop culture, I lost contact with them going to college deciding I valued more education than social link at the time. It got me quite depressed, made my art gone quite angry, I did a lot of fighting scene, took great interest in mma sport, my work was colorful, energized but still quite angry looking.

I always was interested in animation, did my first years of college in that field but loose interest because it was to much procedural for me but I wanted to still explore that field. So I decided to go back in in my own terms, go back to the first things that made me took interest in art in the first place, reconnect with my old friends who were still dancing in dancing battle all around my country, and started to join them since last summer.

I found that hip hop danse was the perfect link between angriness and the full creation, and since I can’t danse for shit and find myself quite ridiculous when I choose to perform so I decided to make my drawings literally dancing, giving them the punch, the happiness that I deserve, the angry happiness I want to transfer to other.

It’s some kind of an hommage to my friends, an hommage to hip hop, the way I choose of showing my animation give them a spontaneous feeling, the experimentation feel part that I was missing from traditional animation production. Keep the accumulation feeling I am quite found of, and help me do more “finish” work since I struggle to keep interest in piece to big.

Perfection is the enemy of mastery. Just learn one thing at a time. Start with proportions. Move on to light and dark. You should be able to create a semi-recognisable portrait with next to no details. Only when you've got to that stage do you move into any detailing at all.

You'll learn a lot more doing lots of fast exercises, than trying to create a master piece. Finish sooner, and you'll accelerate faster
