Johan Moorman, born in 1979 in the Dutch city of light (Eindhoven), graduated from the renowned Willem de Kooning Academy for Arts and Design in Rotterdam.
He gets his inspiration by M.C. Escher, old 3d games like qBert and old Lego catalogs, and is heavily influenced by De Stijl (neoplasticism), Pop art, and the Memphis Group.
He is also know for his cover poster for Kraftwerk's 2013 3d concert series, Bataleon snowboard graphix and pattern designs for Jess Oberlin clothing.
