Die Cut Sticker by Paiheme

A glimpse into the creative world of Paiheme.

StickerApp: How would you define your style?

Paiheme: I'd say my works are a mix between Asian culture but mainly Japanese, cyberpunk cities, and a vintage twist to bring a bit of nostalgia.

StickerApp: What’s your favourite technique?

Paiheme: My favorite technique is a digital drawing which allows me to make tons of tests for colors, line art, etc…

StickerApp: Who or what is your biggest inspiration/s?

Paiheme: My biggest inspirations are more people who create things and events than artists, french streamers are really important to me for example. If not I'd say I still love the works of Otomo, Asano, Swiftdeathclub, Ardhira Putra, Miki Kim, or Hiroshi Nagai.

StickerApp: How did it all start?

Paiheme: II drew a lot when I was a kid and then I dropped everything for music. Then the magic happened when I started my studies in graphic design at 19yo. At the beginning of the first year, there were a lot of drawing lessons. And the more you reached the end of school, the more you had work to do on Photoshop, In design, and other software. To have a formation both traditional and digital is really important in my opinion. I still draw my sketches on paper and then do the rest on Pc.
