Dogboy for Tonic

Our latest addition to Tonic, Rollan Rodriguez aka Dogboy is known for the prolificness of his work. Abstract expressionist, pop-artist, sometimes musician and sometimes a film maker. His influences are deeply rooted from early childhood daily cartoon characters to the great visual artists. His work is described as ubiquitous as it is, in your face. Found objects, demented photos, carton boxes, felt-tip pen, packing tape and paint are the weapon of choice. Though he is a slave worker at design studios and advertising agencies, his romance with his art and self-expression are still at large. He believes that he was a war robot of the 1920's at his early life.


He is a co-founder of the Brownmonkeys, a design collective based in Dubai. They consist of graphic designers, illustrators, painters, musicians, photographers and videographers. Brownmonkeys believe in the idea "creativity without borders". On a lighter side, they believe Astroboy can save the world; they believe in the power of monsters, robots and Apple computers.
