When did you first realize you were interested in art? And interested in it more than a hobby?
“I studied Advertising, and during an internship I discovered the drawing tablet. At the time I was working as an Art Director, and that moment changed everything for me…I realized ‘artist’ was an actual job. Around 2011 I understood that I could actually make a living from this…From that moment, I did everything I could to turn art into my full-time career.” ‘Artist’ may not have been a job that schools or society pushed him towards, or even celebrated, but EduEly uncovered the path towards his dream career. He was able to find stability in it, and that led to a flourish of inspiration and development.
You have a lot of sarcasm, and dark humor in your designs, where does that come from originally?
“Honestly, it comes from life. I use humor and irony a lot to communicate (and maybe to hide a few demons too). I like when a design makes people feel something, not just when it looks pretty.” EduEly can find inspiration in something he watches, a meme, or out of thin air. Other artists provide creative sparks too.
