Octavian Marinescu

JR: Hey Tavi, happy to chat! Tell us about yourself and what are you working on atm?

Tavi: I'm currently working as an indie Illustrator in Brussels, and I’m developing my own style. My art is a mix of detailed-cute-illustrations like in children's books, but twisted with funny ideas and weird stuff! I wish to illustrate a cool and funny illustration book and win an oscar for it.

JR: Yes man! That's awesome - are you afraid of anything?

Tavi: My biggest fear is rejection from pretty girls.

JR: Totally legit, where do you take inspiration from?

Tavi: My Girlfriend Mariana that I love so much - and this great illustrator: @juliasardaportabella

‍JR: Thank you for illustrating a version of me - I always wanted to hang with Erikson The Monster. What can I wish for you in return?

Tavi: My dream is in the making! I'm planning on applying for grants and bringing my work to life. So yeah, I wish to be illustrating books, working with authors I admire on a book, or on my own webcomics and to be out there!
