“It can’t be too literal, it has to have an element of fantasy to it. It is fashion, edgy, melds the line between people being illustrated but also working with high end luxury brands and it always brings a unique fashion approach.”

One of his works appeared in the background as Kylie Jenner sat in her office in an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

His unique art, such as Beyonce and her daughter, Blue Ivy, are featureless with the main focus on their style and fashion.

Other celebrities to have his pieces include Gigi Hadid, Oprah Winfrey, Jean Paul Gaultier and Demi Moore.

While 33-year-old has worked with major international brands, most of his work is done out of his home studio in Elanora.

“I have never had a plan with the celebrities I’ve worked with,” he said.

“It has all happened organically. One thing has led to another, either a celebrity has reached out to me personally or it has been a family member that has been a friend. I don’t like it to be too contrived or planned out, that is the way I like to work. When there is a cool creative energy in the air, it just seems to work.”

He can make anywhere from $600 to thousands of dollars for a piece of art.
