Broly Su is an Atlanta-based illustrator and graphic designer currently pursuing an MFA in illustration at SCAD. Su creates most of his work digitally, taking inspiration from the knowledge and beliefs like positivity, integrity, perseverance and justice that he has absorbed from hip-hop music, graffiti and street culture throughout the years. Heavily influenced by artists like Keith Haring, Steven Harrington and Verdy, Su also works with traditional techniques such as acrylic, Posca markers and ballpoint pens to achieve his bold-lined and graffiti-like style. With a BFA degree in graphic design, Broly expands his work in design with strong typography, layout and branding skills.
