INKBOY is a drawer and street artist.
I'm a young Melbourne based artist growing up on a diet of Street art, graffiti, cartoons (most notably Felix the cat). One dark and stormy night I thought why not combine these loves into some drawings and see what happens. What happened wasn't great and far from anything remotely good...so I stopped, tried again and continued to miserably fail for many years.
Forty seven deleted Instagram accounts later, I found a style and image that was a representation of what I loved, my personality and something that I could grow into. To this very day I have no idea what I'm doing; one moment I feel like I have a pretty ok idea, the next I realise I've been drawing the same circle for 45 minutes.
INKBOY'S aim is to charm people through the cute and cheeky. Taking everyday concepts and transforming them into characters that feel like they could be living in their own little world, complete with taxes, pornography and hangovers. So keep an eye out for chubby cheeks, Mickey Mouse hands and big googley eyes and you'll know inkboy's been around.
