Fable Faun

Damien Yaghi

I am an illustrator and tattoo artist with a BFA in Fine Arts. I grew up with a pencil in my hand and felt inspired by all the different art mediums I discovered growing up; from animations to video games I was fascinated by the idea of creating your own world. I also felt intrigued and moved by historical art movements, such as Art Nouveau as well as ancient Greek and Roman art which helped me build a strong foundation in traditional and figure drawings.

The world I seek is full of whimsical characters, fantastic creatures and magical objects. I’m drawn to creating a world like an old fairytale book; delicate and detailed, sometimes with a touch of darkness and horror. 
I’ve always been interested in mythology, nature and sensuality- I love to find beauty in unexpected forms and romance in the undesirable. My passion lies in telling stories on paper and translating visual identity to skin.
