About

Hi! I'm Friky and I'm a cartoon illustrator from Italy. Since I was little I've always been interested in art, so I spent my time drawing my own fictional stories and characters.
My working is mostly focused on books, videogames and board games.
My goal with my drawings is to make people smile and make them “escape” for a moment when looking at my art. I honestly think the world is quite messed up (mostly nowadays), but I know there’s always that spark which heartens us when needed, showing we’re not just trash. I want to be one of those sparks trying to remind people the beauty of living and be kind to each other.
Color and childhood lover! Let's spread positivity!

original characters

BOB The Monkey: I like to think he's a reflection of a personality of mine, a still carefree and sometimes childish one, always sunny and energetic. I chose a monkey because it's one of my favorite animals since I was young.Guy: I specifically made this character thinking about my missing childhood and so nostalgia, and being a vaporwave/liminal spaces lover, I connected him to these things too. Guy represents all those people like me lost in their thoughts, people living in nostalgia thinking how far the memories are, so beautiful yet unreachble. The screen of the computer doesn't work properly but it lives with a constant "white noise".Arthur: Arthur doesn't have a particular background like the other two, and does not represent a part of my consciousness, but he was born thanks to my passion of the 50's/60's music. I simply imagined him as if he was a secret agent. He just exists because he's a cool guy, and it's enough.
