ABOUT THE AUTHOR
“IT’S LIKE SOMEBODY REACHED INSIDE YOUR SKULL, DIPPED HIS PEN, AND SCRAWLED OUT IN PERFECT FORM ALL THE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GEEK OUT”.
His intentions are straightforward: strike you and take you into a trip through skate rooted, punk/metal inspired images, fueled by cult cinema and underground comic references. The result is art that speaks directly to every generation’s cultural obsessions. With that approach it didn’t take long for leading brands to recognize his talent: NIKE, SANTA CRUZ, ADIDAS, HURLEY, CONVERSE, CRIME, FUCT, CARHARTT, VANS just to highlight a few. Featured in press, cultural events, and global exhibitions, YAIA’s work travels from New York to Tokyo, leaving a mark wherever it’s showcased.
