Portfolio – Droog79

July 31, 2009 | Words By: Angela

droog79openBased out of Puerto Escondido by way of Bristol (yes, there’s hope for us all), Mr Droog is a super splendid illustrator/artist/creative dude currently living the life of Riley two blocks away from a nice lefthand point break. Dividing time between doodling and sliding seems pretty much perfect…

Straight from the horse’s mouth: “I’m currently living on a Mexican beach falling off waves, coning Crayolas and Kryptonics, scratching a living as an illustrator, artist, designer, teacher, writer or whatever else is on offer. I’m still happiest with inky fingers, salty face and a wholesome head. My work is a vomitorium for my brain, escapism from the daily grind, influenced by everything I’ve ever seen, read or heard.”

Want to know more? Check out the Droog blog or buy direct from the artist himself at Droog79 Sells Out.

From one fellow Bristolian to another – lush!

This is the latest development of my little characters. This picture is also a good illustration of how different influences can cross-pollinate. There’s one of my cartoon people but his hair has obviously been inspired by my line drawings of the sea which I’ve been doing completely separately. It’s really satisfying when different things you’re working on come together into one good piece.
