Koa

He studied graphic design at college for 3 years incorporating years of self-taught study in illustration and graffiti styles before moving on to study Communication. After this he was given the title of Artistic Director in a French agency where he produced 2D animation, design for the web and graphic design for over 4 years. During this time he also created several personal websites, a large proportion of his time devoted to a site called YGF that developed into ‘We Do Dat Design’. After closing ‘We Do Dat Design’ he went on to work with the ‘Level Art’ crew from France, integrating their work to form the ‘War of Monsters’ book with the help of ‘The Lazy Dog’ (Paris). This project was his tribute to Kaiju Eiga films.

His world is a contradictory universe of happy, colourful, oppressive chaos where monsters are masters and humans are slaves. Monsters have been a fascination of his since childhood. His universe also has plenty of room for barbed women, dwarf hip hop master, cloud who laugh at humans, flying fish you want to be rock stars, fearful werewolves, ridiculous ghosts and strange dogs. His creations echo the fall of civilization where human insanity, violence and sex are present everywhere.
