We Take a look into Rugman's world, an illustrtor with a pasion for his work and an exhilarating past!
Coming from a background of punk rock, skateboarding and pop culture of the 80s and an exhilarating past moving to work in New York with designers labels such as Donna Karan and Calvin Klein. Now returned back to the UK to work with an independent label of Y-shirts called RUDE. And to this day carries on the illustration, not because he is forced but because it’s what he loves doing, and we can see the passion seep through his work.
Where can we find Rugman now? Today he prefers hiding away in his studio based in Hackney. Where he illustrates his distinctive thoughts on to canvas and focuses on his commercial work as well as still freelancing as a graphic T-shirt designer, With an occasional trip to East London to venture the streets.
“I have a passion to create pieces of visual quality for people to enjoy, If I can make one person smile or look that little bit longer when looking at a piece by Rugman then I have done my job and I am happy.” Words from Rugman himself.
