Creativity runs in the family for illustrator and artist Kentaro Yoshida. His mother, too an artist has had a major influence on his work even though she wasn't entirely on board of his professional choices. "First she wasn't a big fan of my making it a full-time professional. I think she knew the difficulties due to her experiences. But I gave it a try and fortunately did not fail," Kentaro says. "She is definitely the biggest inspiration to me."

Kentaro was born in an unassuming fishing town in Toyama, Japan, but was able to move to Australia aged 18 which is where he currently lives in Sydney. Since his move to Australia, he's built a successful professional freelance business as an artist. His offerings include paintings, prints and custom murals and surfboards, and working with big brands as well as musicians.
