Boris Bobz

My name is Boris Bobz, I’m 30 years old, and I’m an illustrator and professional graffiti artist.

I‘m living in the East of France, where I have the chance to practice my passion every day. Passionate about drawing since my childhood, I discovered the universe of graffiti when I was 15, with one of my friends who came back from California.
There was some graffiti in my city, it was the beginning of this tendance, but I was so impressed and curious about this new way of expression.
Step by step, I started to learn the different techniques of lettering, and I spent all of my time on it.

When I was 20, I got bored with the lettering, and I decided to devote myself to the creation of characters.
Self-educated? I never had a course of drawing, because I wanted to be free in the learning. But it’s not easy with the drawing. The illustrators don’t share their techniques or experiences and I didn’t know anybody how to make characters. So I had to start to learn the bases of the human body.
After many years of reading and looking on internet about the illustration techniques, inking, and coloring, I was finally able to do what was done in my brain.
I used a lot of social networks, and it was with them that I discovered artists like Brett Parson (Blitzcadet), Hombre, Creaturebox, Stereoheat, Abys, and Skottie Young, which inspired me a lot.
Around 25 years old, the idea to do my passion for my job started to make its way under the encouragement of my relatives. At the time, I was working in a refrigerated warehouse.

Today, I’m painting a lot, I realize frescoes for companies, and individuals. I’m also doing frescoes volunteers for associations… I’m not doing only frescoes but also paintings, customized shoes, and the thing that I like the most: creating illustrations.
I like the facial expression in my drawing, work also about the positions is very interesting. I like all the possibilities of staging, ideas are inexhaustible.
I’m working essentially on iPad Pro and I’m using a Procreate-like application, it’s enough for my achievements.
