Najib a.k.a Art:tech is a self taught artist, designer and photographer from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
His passion in art has been in his mind and soul since the day he met his best friends, the one we called pen and pencil. He's into drawing, line art, illustration, doodles, digital graphic, motion graphic and photography. He loves fine details, wires, robots, weird characters, monsters and beautiful composition. His artworks are mostly pen on a4 size paper and digitally colored. The reason he choose a4 size plain white paper as his canvas is to challenge himself to create neat and detailed line art on a piece of normal-everyday-easy-to-get plain white paper. He also works on other different mediums and sizes as well.
His artworks had been exhibited in local art exhibitions & major events, and also featured/published in magazines, e-magazines & websites. He's now the owner and director of Eightyfourcube Studio Gallery that consist of a design studio, music rehearsal studio, photo studio and a mini gallery/store in one place.
