Buff Monster is a street artist who lives in Hollywood but one could also say he lives in a world of pink. If there’s one thing obvious about what this artist loves, it is the color pink.
Bubble gum pink, pastel pink, rose, magenta - any shade of pink! You name it, he’s got it. The obsession with this color is boldly instilled in all of Buff Monster's paintings, street art, installations, as well as through his own line of clothing and toys.
Buff Monster’s inspiration and influence lies in heavy metal music, ice cream (his “food porn”) and Japanese culture. His creative pieces often bear anime and Japanese words. They are cute, creepy, happy, geometric, floral, playful or just plain weird. Nevertheless, they are all imaginative and interesting.
