At just 24-years-old, Oliver Hibert is already super prolific, super
talented, and super making me have a crush on him. He's a designer and
artist; creating paintings, magazine covers, toys, stickers, patches,
skate decks and all other kinds of artistic joy and then smothering
them with bright colours, busy patterns and plenty of exclamation marks.
He designs skate decks for Hagala Skateboards, his work has been on the covers of Time Out and Technology Review, and he has had works shown in all kinds of different exhibitions. And the fact that his paintings have titles like
Assy Fantastic LALA and
Twatshocker 1990 just make them all the more fun.
I thought I was done with neon, until I saw Oliver Hibert's work. And you can find out a whole lot more about him, see more works, read his blog, and (as soon as it's up and running) buy a little piece of Hibert to take home. Go to
