Bayu Sadewo

Hello there, my name is Bayu (pronounced like the song "I'll Stand 'By You'") :D. I am an illustrator based in Sydney, Australia but born and grew up in Indonesia. Ever since I was a kid, I have always loved making up stories and imaginary multiverses where my stories and characters take place. I love capturing personal and emotional stories through my drawings. People and the ups and downs of life have always been the main inspiration for the stories of my drawings. I love doing drawings that make people feel connected and represented. Since I've always been drawn to nature, animals, and fantasy literature/motion pictures, I love portraying my stories through these particular lenses. Recently, I left my safe years of career as a graphic designer to chase my true passion as an illustrator, to be honest, I've always been afraid I can't live solely on it as a profession, but I recently realized that it's also one thing that I can't continue living without. I'm keen to meet and learn from all of you fellow talented artists and creatives! I have so much to learn :)
