HEKStyle

David Blake (HEKStyle) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work utilises the aesthetics of his surroundings to explore our relationship with our individual journeys, which can often be harsh and unforgiving. Having started out from a graffiti background David went in search of work that would satisfy his creativity and sense of craftsmanship. Self taught in illustration, sneaker design, mural painting and more, he now splits his time between creating his own personal pieces as well as working together with businesses and individuals to realise their ideas. Sneakers are a dominant factor in HEKStyles personal work and aim to symbolise the trek of these aforementioned journeys. Often choosing to isolate his subject which is perceived as though in a hopeless situation, there is always an underlying message of optimism and hope through perseverance.
