Senor Blanco aka Eric White is a 23 year old graphic designer from Dallas Texas. He’s sick with the mouse! I would’ve said pen but since we’re talking about graphics… Yes anyway, his creations are dope. He tells me, ‘I’m inspired by things that stand out, dope shit, fly shit, weird shit.’
Like many young artists, it was the good old self portrait exercise that really got him hooked on creating graphics, ‘My first graphic was a Senior Blanco self portrait, I had just purchased a wacom tablet, and I had no idea how to use it, but thanks to Unkommon Kolor’s Jeremy Biggers, I created something pretty dope.’ But Senor doesn’t even need a fancy tablet to create his visions, and he even namechecks Microsoft Paint (remember that bad boy?) in his list of favourite programs, alongside Photoshop and Illustrator of course.
Currently working alongside brand Unkommon Kolor there’s definitely more to come from him in 2010 so keep your eyes peeled for more of his larger than life colourful graphics on Tees and Garms, And you don’t have to be from Dallas to rock one, bring a bit of Texan steez into your London-world.
