What is next for you?
Sew Sketchy world domination.
I create fashionable, flattering characters with a little edge. I love drawing faces.
Drawing will never be a real work. When I draw I feel joyful, peaceful, a unique wellbeing, it is almost meditative. It gives me balance and harmony and I want to share all these beautiful energies throught my artworks.
The emotions I put in creating every artwork, it is very energetic and colorful, ugly and beautiful at the same time.
"the right combination of clothes could be an artistic expression and also a great business."
Being chic is a super power. I am cursed with good taste and not that many people have that.
I am all about mixing and matching studs for myself and my clients. If you have two or three holes in your ears, it's about wearing the same pair on the same ear.
Walking the streets of NYC. There is absolutely nothing more electric and intoxicating.
I know macro trends and the connection between macro trends and fashion. Feminism and multiculturalism are one of those macro trends which I demonstrate in my art.
