Handmade drawing I did for my solo art show at Sergeant Paper gallery in 2012
This artwork is a new character I drew by hand for my new series and my next exhibition.
For this project I filled every artwork with some of the best hip-hop quotes ever.
Every character is unique and is part of an imaginary gang I call the Société Des Griffeurs.

Medium used: Hand-drawn with silver ink pens on 160g acid free art paper.

HANDSOME BOY MODELING SCHOOL
Some people look at the characters I draw and they say that I am inspired by japanese folklore.
Other people say that I must be inspired by the indonesian culture.
Other say that this is a modern take on african tribal art.
I tell them it’s Mega.
My characters are simply gorgeous.

JUELZ SANTANA
When I tell people that I based my studio in Bali, Indonesia, they always tell me about how lucky I am.
Coconut juices on the beach. Great surf. Magic mushrooms. Tight bikinis dancing in the front of colorful sunsets… They obviously talk about another reality.
I prepared this series by locking myself in a room. I am drawing everyday from the moment I woke up until it is late enough to join my girlfriend in bed.
I don’t have time to meet my friends, to do parties, watch TV, or anything else. All I care about is my art, and I intend to stay focus until I’m on the top of the world.
“Sir, another coconut juice please.” Just kidding…
Me and my characters are in a mood to fight.

Today I woke up with a lot of emails I need to reply to.
Interview requests from magazines, blogs who tell me about a review they just posted, collaborations requests, and more. You name it.
I’m always hungry for more, and love to read your feedbacks, so don’t hesitate to drop me an email when you feel like to.
On another hand, I recently started to collaborate with Lost At E Minor. They asked me to post reviews about stuffs I like. So if you produce amazing and inspiring artworks, feel free to contact me.
Talk soon.
Have a Mega day.

Brain dead flow
LIL WAYNE
My brain is dead.
My hands are well alive.
I use them every day to produce inspiring artworks and slick drawings.
At least I try to.
I hope that you enjoy my productions and feel inspired by my fonts experiments.
