The personality of any apartment is measured by the number of art pieces one can find in it. That is why our approach is: If you're going for art, then it should preferably be the most interesting and up-to-date art, so that guests will have a good time visiting and we will also have something to feast our eyes on when staring at the walls.
Designer studios are always an interesting place to be in and surfing through portfolio websites is one of our favourite pastimes. One could say that the local online design scene is vibrant and full of inspiration. So full of Inspiration that we feel like gathering some pixels together from the net and turning them into framed paper sheets neatly hanging from the wall. We have chosen to launch our "Art to go" section, in which we will give you fun art for printing, with the graphic designer and illustrator Yonil. This guy has amazing style, impressive illustration skills and vast knowledge in typography.
Poster graphic design
Who are you Yonil?
I studied graphic design at the HIT in Hulon and graduated in 2009. After a year of working for Veecee studio I decided freelance work is the path for me and ever since then I design T-shirts, album covers, posters and all kinds of other products. My biggest passion is music and that's also the field that provides me with the most expression, so these are two fields I enjoy combining.
