OakOak’s unique approach sees him transforming little flaws in urban landscapes that wouldn’t usually garner much interest, into a mini-story with many of his illustrations featuring pop-culture references.

When it comes to his creative process, OakOak shared that he walks a lot every day during which time he tries to find a specific urban element. This in turn evokes his creative nature to find forms within the visual similar to a child’s imagination igniting upon seeing clouds. He added, “I do the same with the walls, the roads etc. I try to find a form and, after that add what I consider as the best thing to change the urban element.”

Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.

Got wisdom to pour?
