It's you inside your head, just trying to not follow the trends, but follow your guts."Bernardo Henning is an illustrator and graphic designer based in Buenos Aires. He saw graffiti for the first time in La Plata, the city drawn with a ruler, and started painting on the streets and working at DOMA in his first year of university. Today he runs the branding studio Hola Bosque with friends and works solo as a commercial artist.He talks about why finding your own style is "you versus you", the canvas at the entrance of his first solo exhibition saying the worst thing that happened to him as an artist was being a graphic designer, and why he now sees the combination of both as the key to his work. He also explains how Procreate changed his process, how he draws energy onto photos of athletes, what he thinks about AI, and the advice he would give his kids.Timestamps00:00 Opening01:45 La Plata, the diagonal city03:29 Where Hola Maybe comes from05:48 Graffiti and writing fast06:42 A studio and a solo career08:21 You versus you10:30 Imposter syndrome and commercial art12:32 The right place at the right time14:55 Discovering graphic design16:48 "The worst thing that happened to me as an artist"21:44 The canvas he would hang today22:42 Learning from his daughter27:11 Procreate and a style that moves30:25 Drawing energy onto athletes32:58 Stars and newcomers36:11 Messi, Julián Álvarez and football39:37 Life outside of work41:03 AI: "I don't love it, I don't hate it"43:17 Brands asking for the process45:22 One piece to keep47:47 Advice for his kidsBernardo HenningInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/holamaybe/Behance: https://www.behance.net/MaybeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bosquestudio/Hola Bosque (studio): https://www.instagram.com/holabosque/Creative Figureshttps://creativefigures.fmYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CreativeFiguresFMInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/creativefigures.fm/Hosted by Alen Kapetanovic.© Alen Kapetanovic.
