Teo Skaffa currently lives in Istanbul but is from a village in the Netherlands which you've probably never heard of, and for good reason. He loves music, video games, cinema, and swimming. He hates drawing in accurate perspective and room temperature watermelon (cold is fine though, delicious even). Coming from a traditional background, he now focuses on digital illustration and storytelling. Most of his inspiration comes from that short moment when you wake up and don't quite understand what is happening yet, where he sees brief flashes of images and ideas which he turns into colorful illustrations.
