Artist / SG Member Name: I'm Dwam on SG and as a tattooist, but I use Ipomée as an illustrator name.
Mission Statement: I don't know. I'm fascinated by the aesthetic of the body. I love drawing people, faces, bodies, clothing, motions, figures, in order to convey or translate moods, emotions, and sensations. I'm also really into dreams, symbols, mythology, and gender issues, and I'm trying to infuse that in my works.
Medium: Mostly graphic and ink on paper, some acrylic inks or watercolor, and digital art on Photoshop quite often. And skin now.
Aesthetic: Obviously it's very influenced by comics. And now all this background influences a lot my tattoo work. I don't know if this will make sense, but what I'm looking for, mostly, is the elegance of the lines.
Notable Achievements: Although I've been a part of a bunch of collective comics books, and I also created a self-published 4 books project with my schoolmates back in time; I never really made it further into the comics world. After I worked in an animation studio, I changed directions and stepped into the tattooing world, and that has been a lot more successful! However, I'm still illustrating sometimes for magazines or occasional commissions.
Why We Should Care: I don't know. Why should you care, or why not? I hope to touch people with my art, but then it's a matter of taste and sensibility, and they do not always match.
I Want Me Some: I've got a bunch of prints and originals on sale but no site for that. Most of my works are on my blog: ipomee.canalblog.com/ The easiest way is to contact me on SG or at ipomeee@hotmail.com if you're interested.
