“The early work of Akira Toriyama has always been a big inspiration for my characters.” – Rubens Cantuni
ABOUT RUBEN CANTUNI
Rubens Cantuni. Born in 1982 in Genoa – Italy. I have Pantone 4485 C eyes and Pantone Process Black C hair.
My work is influenced by a multitude of different sources. From japanese imaginary and culture to pop and street art, from tattoos to pop surrealism, movies and comics.
I worked for several start-ups and independent fashion brands as well as big multinational companies, such as Nike, Hasbro and WWE.

I focus mainly on character design and typography (but I like to be challenged with new projects), with a personal, colorful and rich in contrasts style. My work as been described as cute, but sometimes disturbing, funny, but slightly sexy.
I love to work in vectors as much as I love pizza.
