Sketchy D. Artisan: So, uh... glances around nervously I-I've always dreamed of... fidgets with a pencil inspiring with my art.
Alright, cool. So, uh, you're known for your One Piece inspired sketches. Can you tell us how you got into that?
W-w-wow, I-I-I mean... ahem Sorry 'bout that! So, you wanna know the story behind my iconic design? Well, let's just say it involves a lot of s-s-sailing and g-g-getting lost at sea...
Sounds like an adventure.
A-a-adventure is right! grins It's like my life took a sharp turn when I stumbled upon this abandoned ship.
A-a-and then there were pirates! laughs nervously They tried to steal my ship, but I fought 'em off with all my might!
So what happened to the pirates?
laughs Oh, you bet I won that fight! But the real treasure wasn't the gold or jewels... it was the lessons I learned.
W-w-well, I learned that true strength comes from knowing yourself and trusting your instincts.
Cool man! What else inspires you?
I-I-if I'm being completely honest, my passion project is still figuring out how to draw a decent anchor on a nautical map... B-b-but hey, at least I've got my trusty harmonica to soothe my nerves!
Any interesting stories about your travels?
H-h-hey there! As an independent artist, I've had the chance to travel all over the world... except Antarctica, of course - too cold for this sketchy dude!
So where's the craziest place you've ever been?
O-o-oh, I'd have to say Greece! Ever been there? The ancient ruins, the delicious food...
You were inspired by the graffiti in Greece?
A-a-art has always been about expressing yourself, right? That's why I love how ancient graffiti in Greece inspired me - it shows that even back then, people were making their mark!
Do you have any funny stories from your travels?
A-a-actually, I remember this one time on a train in India... I accidentally left my backpack behind, and when I ran back, a monkey snuck into my bag and marked my sketches with its teeth! laughs Talk about adding a personal touch, huh?
