Bio:

My name's Ziv Lahat. I'm a Painter, Lowbrow artist, illustrator, cartoonist and fashion designer.

From an early age I was influenced by many cultures – especially Ethnic, which influenced most of my art. Later on in life I studied fashion design in Paris (ESMOD) and later took part in exciting fields in the fashion world, including advertising of my own created costumed shoes,collaborate with a few sneakers shops and an article about my shoes art, Styliste, Personal Shopper and Fashion Designer for a few companies in the industry.

I am influenced by many different artistic fields that accompanied me most of my life, such as street art culture (Graffiti, Toys, Comics, Vinyl Toys, Tags, Characters etc..), kustom kulture (50′s, hot rods, pinstriping, exotica), history, Ethnica, music (Ska, Reggae, Hip Hope, Psychobilly, Jazz, Rockabilly, Punk, Gothic, Tribal and many more...), tattoo culture, Primitive art, Lowbrow, Surf, Skate, Rastafari Movement and many more, which influenced my designs, art and ideas.

So, what's with my nickname in the Graffiti/Street Art... I took this name from the mighty and legend Miles Davis Kind Of Blue album.... "So What" is playing always in my head when I think of drawing something and after that I mixed with other genres music.

I love to create my own style with a lot of thinking and good vibes... from Tiki to Psychobilly from Ska to Surf etc...
