ART / WORK / LIFE - DAN ELIJAH FAJARDO

There once was a man named Dan, who had a plan to make a flan from Iran. But little did he know, the flan had to go, after all he was born a Filipino. Or in other words, please check out the following interview I did with my mate Dan Elijah Fajardo, as he's a freelance t-shirt designer from the Philippines.





1) Where are you based?   I come from Manila, which is located in the Philippines.

2) What inspired you to draw?   Everything that surrounds me has inspired me, such as my wife, my son, and my family. They are my inspirations.

3) Who is your favorite artist?   I am a big fan of Juan Luna and Salvador Dali.

4) What is your favorite subject to illustrate?   Nature, animals, and anything cosmic.

5) If you could get a celebrity – either living or dead – to promote your work, who would it be?   Michael Jackson.

6) Besides submitting your work to Design By Humans, what else do you do?   I'm just a full-time family man, Ha! Just kidding. In fact I am a full-time freelance illustrator.

7) Out of your designs, which one do you think is the most popular?   I think my "It's Dangerous to go Alone" design was my top selling design.

8) Why do you think this is so?   I was inspired to create it after playing 'The Legend of Zelda', and lets face it, everyone loves playing 'The Legend of Zelda'.

9) If you had a personal motto, what would it be?   Focus on the blessings and not on the problem.

And so on that note, I'd like to thank Dan for telling us about his work for Design By Humans. For any more information please click on the links provided or visit his facebook and twitter pages.
