Daily Inspiration: Meet André Fidusi

Today we’d like to introduce you to André Fidusi.

Hi André, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’ve always liked art, especially illustrations. I’ve been drawing since I was a kid, but I never thought about pursuing this career. I majored in advertising and journalism and did some work. I did some drawings too, but nothing professional. In 2006, I decided to take it seriously and started showing the illustrations to several professionals and I saw that I could be a drawing professional too.

Since then, I work as a professional illustrator. Today, my main job is with football. I started sending illustrations to various media, websites, blogs and others, so I got notoriety and other works. My main channel of dissemination is social networks. It is important to generate content and always be in evidence on the internet.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The path is never smooth. This kind of artwork is not as valued as it should be. But it is very pleasant to see the work move people. When we see this feeling being awakened, it’s worth continuing.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Everything I know today I got through practice and research. The internet has helped me a lot to meet other artists and see different styles. I say that to be a good illustrator you need to follow this rule: research, practice and patience. The challenges are daily, always looking for new ways to perfect the line of illustration. So practice is very important. Today I turn my passion for football into art and try to pass it on to people. Football involves a lot of feeling and it’s really cool to be able to pass that on to them.

What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
The important thing is to always be aware of changes, be patient and practice a lot.
