WOTTO

Creepy meets cute inside crowded little worlds filled with characters, color, hidden messages and enough detail to keep your eyes employed.

01

CALIFORNIA BY WAY OF LONDON

Wotto is a California-based artist who graduated with a BA with honors in Illustration before moving to London to surround himself with other creatives.

Immersed in a city shaped by art, design and visual experimentation, he began developing the style that would eventually become unmistakably his own.

02

FROM THE SKETCHBOOK OUT

Influenced by the explosion of street art and designer toy culture, Wotto developed a distinctive doodle style that originally lived only inside his sketchbooks.

It did not stay there for long. His characters and dense illustrations soon found their way onto products and surfaces across the world.

03

INTENTIONAL CHAOS

Wotto’s work combines rich color palettes with original characters built from deliberate, carefully controlled lines.

The illustrations may feel chaotic at first glance, but every creature, mark and collision has a job to do.

CHAOS. BUT ORGANIZED.

04

LOOK CLOSER

Hidden messages, hand-drawn lettering and discoverable objects are buried throughout his work.

Mountains of detail reward anyone willing to slow down, stare a little longer and find the strange thing smiling back from the corner.

05

CREEPY, CUTE AND SOMEHOW EMOTIONAL

Wotto aims to mix the creepy with the cute, building worlds that feel chaotic without losing emotion or storytelling.

The characters might look like trouble, but they usually have something to say.
