![]() ![]() Summer days just playing outside and coming back in hella dirty and drawing while watching the newest Pharrell videos. When did you begin drawing? And when did you start taking it seriously?Ī: I always drew as a kid, but more seriously around 12, I started drawing collections of clothing. I’m going back to So Cal in May so I’m just creating and expanding my audience everywhere I go. I just did a art show out here at a Southwestern University and have met some designers at UT Austin so I’ve just been getting a lot of love as I been traveling through the south. Where do you currently reside and how does your current city/state influence your work?Ī: Right now I’m in Austin, Texas! Working on this new brand and working with a producer. I love people in California, those kids live in the future.Ģ. Being cool in California is being yourself to the fullest extent. A large percentage of the the kids are creative or at least appreciate art or music in Sacramento Like even the nerds, and white people, and suburban kids knew the slaps and hottest record at the time. In high school I was influenced by A collective called Fly High that was based out of North Sacramento and I admired how they operated together and had the clothing and the beats, & rappers, they were peers that were the big homies to us. My early music was inspired by the hyphy generation and Bay Area artist like Mac Dre, Too $hort, E-40, Mistah FAB, Tupac. I’m a legit fan of the youth and the creatives in my city as well as the Bay Area, especially San Francisco, and Oakland which I spend a lot of time in. Elk Grove is more middle class so you get a mixture of of all different cultures and backgrounds. ![]() Being from Sacramento definitely influences my art. Where are you from and how does your city/state have an influence on your work?Ī: I’m from Sacramento, CA. You can also check out a few pieces of Estevan Brilliantes work below…ġ. He was down for it so I sent him a few questions about himself as an artist, his influences, his fashion, his prescriptive on the art world and much more. ![]() I hit up Estevan a few weeks ago expressing how dope his art was and how I would love to interview him. Estevan Brilliantes, a native from South Sacramento/Elk Grove has been in the spotlight for in Estevan’s words his “rebellious, controversial, emotional, intelligent and anointed” art work. I feel as though his art is so dope and unique that he deserves this interview along with more attention and recognition. I took the time out to interview an old homie of mine that has never been afraid to express himself through music, art and fashion. ![]()
