New York - Andre Da Loba

During my stay in New York, I got the opportunity to meet Andre Da Loba, an illustrator based in New Jersey. I had a look at his gallery and a quick snoop around his office and workstation. It was really great to see the environment of an accomplished artist, and to see just how honest and laid back he was. He seemed to be a very charming and 'says it how it is' kind of guy. 







A lot of his art work seems very eye-compelling. The image isn't everything you think it is at first glance. It is, in it's own respect, very clever!



















It was very kind of him to allow special access to his workstation, you can see his own work, and his inspirations are all over the place. It was good to see that his work is reflected upon with lots of bits and bobs that are all around him when he works. What a great experience this was!

The City That Never Stops Flashing 'Color' Vomit Everywhere

I have been lucky enough to go to New York City! I have done so much in just a few days, it has all been so overwhelming. I have been to meet several artists in my time here, and was lucky enough to get a chance to talk to them about all the work they produce and how they got to where they are. I took lots of pictures of the work I was inspired by, and ofcourse the amazing architecture of NY! I have learned so much in my time here, I will surely upload as much as possible.


The unmistakable food, population, traffic and bright-yellow taxis!
