One of the artists i have researched is Simone Legno. I like his work because i like his types of drawings, he seems to have a big imagination and put this into his work. I found out he is an Italian artist, his work is also influenced by his interest in Japan & it's culture.
I don't think his work will really influence me because I’m not really into cartoons but i do like what he does because I really like the colours he uses they are bright and make his work stand out. He is the co finder of his work tokidoki he drew constantly as a child and i guess that is where he got his talent from. The word tokidoki means ‘sometimes’ in Japan which is where he got his inspiration. Simone's special moment arrived when his designs drew the attention of entrepreneurs Pooneh Mohajer and Ivan Arnold, who spied the art on his personal website and convinced him to move to L.A. to start up a dynamic new partnership with them. Simone has been a sought-after speaker around the world at museums, universities and conferences, from MOCA (the Geffen Museum-Los Angeles) to the Adobe MAX conference, UCLA, USC, the Flash Film Festival in San Francisco, Istituto Europeo di Design in Rome, Grafika Manila and many others.
“Tokidoki is the hope, the hidden energy that everyone has inside, It gives us the strength to face a new day and dream about something positive and the hope that something magical will happen to us.” - Simone Legno
