Since high school (I am 25 now) me and my friends were always passionate about hip hop culture, I lost contact with them going to college deciding I valued more education than social link at the time. It got me quite depressed, made my art gone quite angry, I did a lot of fighting scene, took great interest in mma sport, my work was colorful, energized but still quite angry looking.

I always was interested in animation, did my first years of college in that field but loose interest because it was to much procedural for me but I wanted to still explore that field. So I decided to go back in in my own terms, go back to the first things that made me took interest in art in the first place, reconnect with my old friends who were still dancing in dancing battle all around my country, and started to join them since last summer.

I found that hip hop danse was the perfect link between angriness and the full creation, and since I can’t danse for shit and find myself quite ridiculous when I choose to perform so I decided to make my drawings literally dancing, giving them the punch, the happiness that I deserve, the angry happiness I want to transfer to other.

It’s some kind of an hommage to my friends, an hommage to hip hop, the way I choose of showing my animation give them a spontaneous feeling, the experimentation feel part that I was missing from traditional animation production. Keep the accumulation feeling I am quite found of, and help me do more “finish” work since I struggle to keep interest in piece to big.

Wow, first of all, thanks so much for the very thorough response. I personally dance, so I was intrigued as to what would make you create this piece. I can relate to this a lot. Dancing is the one time in the week I can work hard and feel good about it, I recently got into teaching some younger kids at my school, and it's awesome to see them so excited about something I'm so passionate about. I love the way you decided to express your passion for dancing. In this way, you've captured the essence beautifully. Believe me, I got hyped by seeing your dance, which is exactly how good hip-hop should be. Great art piece, I wish you the best. It sounds like you've got awesome friends, and frankly, you sound pretty awesome yourself.

Your goal should be to animate a full choreography of your friends in dance battle and have them perform it exactly in synch with a big screen behind them. Get that shit on America/Britain's got talent or something.

Amazing work. Please keep creating for our enjoyment !
