This playful, cartoon-like character, with a striking hat, a tie and a broad smile, has been created in Zebra Pozer’s distinctive style. His work is highly recognisable by its loose, almost messy sketch lines. He deliberately avoids perfection, seeking instead to bring the spontaneity and joy of a sketchbook out onto the streets.
London-based artist Zebra Pozer specialises in designing unique, expressive characters. His characters, which he often refers to as ‘Nutty Faces’ or ‘weirdos’, playfully depict figures from all walks of life.
In addition to traditional spray cans, he makes extensive use of thick paint markers (such as Posca pens) to apply the bright, contrasting colours and thick black outlines to his figures.
