Bristol Illustrators: Cheeba

As an aficionado of the modern poster and sticker culture, Cheba began plastering the streets with his striking yet simple characters using every media he could get his hands on. He has appeared in such publications as 'Graffiti World', 'The Art of Rebellion' and 'Wooster Collective – Hollywood Remix Book', all of which received worldwide distribution. All sorts of influences inspire his work – everything from obese people and 80s cartoons to frilly knickers. For his role behind the clubnight 'Weapon of Choice' and the Bristol Festival, Cheba snapped up Venue magazine’s Banana Award for the top artist of 2008. Having perfected his own unique visual style over a number of years, his highly distinctive pieces have become instantly recognisable throughout Bristol and beyond.
