When did you first start using Copic markers and what made you decide to use them? Even though my parents thought it was impossible to make a career out of art, artists like KAWS and Musketon (Belgian artists) were the ones that inspired me to make my dream a reality. I think it was then that I decided I wanted to become an artist. Art history was also something I suddenly took great interest in. When turning 14-15, I became interested in drawing comics and reading related books. I’ve always made art as a kid and was always pretty good at it (I realized later on). Why did you decide to become an artist? Who or what specifically inspired you? That’s my career in a nutshell! I’m 24 now, and I’m from Belgium. My art studio is located in Brussels. More recently, I’ve been venturing into the ‘real’ art world, making appearances in museums, selling high-quality, limited-edition art prints, paintings, NFTs, art toy sculptures, etc. Through this process, I discovered my colorful doodle style, and people loved it! From there, I started making YouTube videos about my process, and that’s when my career completely exploded. I started posting a new drawing each and every day on Instagram and quickly grew an audience of a couple of thousand people. I started taking art more seriously when I turned 16 and wanted to pursue my goal of becoming an artist. Vexx sits as one of the most recognized artists of his generation, with a combined social media following of over three and a half million subscribers and followers, and has partnered with brands including Gucci, Porche, Puma, Spongebob Squarepants, Red Bull, and Amazon among others.Ĭould you please tell me your career story and background?
