“My name is Roderique Arisiaman, mostly known online as Dracorubio. I’m a Dutch artist, working with photography, photomanipulation and design. On the side I also do ceramics and paintings, and tattoo-artist and woodcarving is on my list of things to do when I grow up.
I worked as a 3D animator/designer and Motion Graphics Artist for a few years, but dropped out, because I got lost in the complex virtual world of 3D too much and found I was wasting my time building intricate virtual things, instead of creating and telling stories.
My sphynx cats drew me into photography as I wanted to tell the world how beautifull, gracefull and overall goofie they where. Using Flickr as my main stage of sharing my images with the world, I came into contact with the 365 concept (a project where you make a selfportrait every day for a year, post it and comment on each others images) and developed a means to create and tell a visual story everyday for a whole year.
I’ve always been interested in stories and as a child I could just wander my storybooks for ages. I continue to be visually stimulated by cartoons, movies, art and the world around me. My art is actually a product of the drive to create and tell stories. From childhood drawings, through art-classes in high-school, right up to the Utrecht School of Arts, where I gained a Bachelor Degree in media-design, animation and visualfx.” Arisiaman Roderique aka Dracorubio.
