About me

hey, hi.

I am a self-taught graphic artist and illustrator that goes by the nickname fourtoeight. My work is currently focused on surreal painting, drawing and illustration.

WHAT I (CAN) DO (FOR YOU)

I do design work with a heavy illustration component, editorial and licensing illustration, children's books art, cartooning and storyboarding (feel free to ask for samples if you're interested). I welcome commissioned work from time to time.

Other than the above, II keep some personal practices of artistic creation: large format mixed media painting and drawing.

ABOUT MY STYLE

My style is childish yet very expressive, full of gesture. The face and its features is one of the most remarkable attributes of my work: it is a vehicle to transmit ideas, feelings, thoughts, emotions. Some other attributes of my work would be the well defined shapes, a bold use of color, a careful layout composition, a nostalgic appeal.

HOW I WORK

-Client work: It is my job to be an illustrator, and it is essential for me to have a clear communication with my client in order to deliver accurately and timely. To me, work is business and business is one of the highest forms of commitment there are.

-My approach to imagining: graphic creation, to me, is a fearless but well observed practice. I believe each project is unique, both in terms of its singularity as a challenge and its demands as a commitment.

-Graphic creation: every project is its own story, and the graphics associated to it are nothing but the translation of the ideas that define it; a translation into a visual language that must be inviting and, at its best, captivating to the viewer. A work successfully completed is one where my client has received, from me, the graphics that captivate its customers and turned them into part of that story.

One last thing: It's always interesting to hear about artistic collaboration.
