feature: uk-based angolan visual artist pedraw creates uber-imaginative & afro-futurist digital illustrations

September 2, 2016

Inspired by ancient history and fiction, UK-based Angolan illustrator PeDraw (Pedro Gomes) creates these majorly impressive digital character illustrations. In one way or another, most of his work make subtle references to African culture, heritage and history through depictions of ancient iconography, often presented through an afro-futurist lens. Gomes has also drawn some of the most prolific Black American Civil Right’s figures, like Rosa Parks and Malcolm X. Scroll down to check out some of his work.
