Daniel Isles is an Birmingham-born illustrator currently residing in Japan, who has spent most of his life drawing and making his own comic strips. He eventually picked up commissioned work for various clients like Capcom UK and Jamla Records. Better known by his online moniker “DirtyRobot,” Isles works toward creating his own universe populated by these futuristic characters — and when clicking through hundreds of his illustrations, you see recurring characters and start to understand their stories through the expressive body language he can depict.

As a streetwear head from the 2006-era, Isles shares similar interests and references much of the same things that inspire us — this becomes apparent when you take a look at the futuristic, branded gear and sneakers his characters are drawn in. His unique world is filled with higher-evolved animals, telekinetic androids and dodgy boost-crews armed with futuristic weapons. 

Daniel also helped found Renga Inc.
