Gospel / GOSPEL FOR TRAMPS
I got interested in arts and comics in my childhood. I moved to Tokyo in 1990 to seek an environment where I can continue painting. Then, in 1992 I got a deep impact from HipHop culture and Graffiti. I have been learning various techniques by myself and searching my own style of expression, and have made room for myself in. Warm characters paint with many kinds of methods such as acrylic, air-brush, sprays …etc, have gained favour with many people. I keep on expressing my own “color” without being swayed by prevailing trend in well-developed Japanese HipHop culture. My arts do not lose the original point while “things which look like that” are everywhere not only about HipHop these days. My artistic activities are supported in various ways such as apparel, CD artworks, magazine designs both in major and inunderground culture
絵や漫画に興味を持ち、暇があれば絵を描く幼少期を経て1990年単身東京へ上京。
1992年ヒップホップ・カルチャーとGRAFFITIに強い衝撃を受けシーンにどっぷりとハマる、
独学で様々な技術を学びつつオリジナルのスタイルを確立、その暖かみのあるキャラクターは、ジャンルを問わず多くの人々に支持を受けている。
ヒップホップに限らず、「それっぽい」もの が当たり前になった中、原点を忘れず、流行・廃りに踊らされる事無く、
独自のカラーを打ち出し続けるその姿勢は、ライブペイントなどはもちろんアパレル、CDアートワーク、ロゴデザインなど、メジャーからアンダーグラウンドまで幅広く多彩な方面で支持されている。
