Graphic Style research Part III

Koa
Koa is a great illusstrator but his style is a little bit sinister and wouldnt fit in with yo sushis happy fun branding. 

 He wents to a graphic design high school for 3 years, after a long time of self-education and a high school of Communication. He worked in a french agency as Artistic Director, where he made 2d animations, webdesign, graphic design and other stuff (during 5 years). After that he realised WAR OF MONSTARS book with the big help of THE LAZY DOG (Paris) this project was a tribute to Kaiju Eiga films. He is actually working on a new book called SANG NOIR. A black and white illustrations book with other artists like he does for WAR OF MONSTARS.
His world is a universe of happy and colorfull oppresive chaos where monsters are masters and humans are slaves. Monsters fascinate him since he is a little kid. His universe is full of barbed women, dwarfs hip hop masters, clouds who laugh about humans, flying fishes who want to be rock stars, fearfull wherewolfs, ridiculous ghosts, strange dogs, shintoist gods, religious symbols, occult symbols, tattoos...
Mirror of our hearts his creatition takes part of our fears, fantasms for strange things. His creations are the echo of our falling civilisation where the human Insanity, violence and sex is everywhere but always with humor. But it s always turned to ridiculous and funny things, he doesn t want t chock people with his little monsters but more make them laught.
