Graffiti Artist of the Modern period.( TITI-FREAK )

Titi-Freak a.k.a Hamilton Yokota





Brazilian street and fine artist;one of the nicest and most original artists emerging from his home country

self taught;he learned how to draw by working in a big comics studio in his hometown of São Paulo, Brazil.

From 13 to 20 years of age, he specialized in developing new characters. His passion didn’t stop there and he continued to develop his love of painting, drawing, installation, and street art.

His inspiration comes from yo-yo, manga, anime, and illustration, to fashion, J-pop, tattoo, street culture, graffiti and Brazilian bars

His work is also inspired by the lives and behavior of his fellow city-dwellers.






























I'm strongly intrigued and inspired by his works.
His work has a very distinctive feature which is he didn't draw in the iris or the eyeball of the characters he painted. Yet these characters still seems that they have lives in them and it give them a mysterious and scary look. His work is sort of sketchy and very expressive. His works evoke strong emotions.

He also studied Japanese cultural and landscape and incorporate them into his artworks.















As a emerging graffiti artist, he is a very successful one. Cause his artworks are highly recognise by art critics and he has been holding his exhibitions at countries like London, Osaka, New York City, and also his own hometown, Sao Paulo in Brazil.
