The family is a creative one for artist and illustrator Kentaro Yoshida. His mother, too an artist, has been an influential influence on his work even though she wasn't entirely on board of his professional choices. "First she wasn't a big fan of my being a full-time artist. I think she knew how hard it is, due to her experiences. However, I decided to give an attempt and, survived," Kentaro says. "She is definitely the biggest source of inspiration for me."

Kentaro grew up in a rural fishing village located in Toyama, Japan, but was able to move to Australia when he was 18 years old, where he now lives in Sydney. Since then, he's built a successful part-time, freelance job as an artist. His offerings include prints, custom-designed painting murals and surfboards, and collaboration with top brands and musicians.
