We start from the beginning all the way back in Greece. We touch on Billy’s inspirations growing up and on his early education years to then finish school at Plymouth University. We get into the nitty gritty of 3D artistry from the tools to the use of lights and materials in his compositions. Billy flush his style out discussing how he comes up with his specific visual sensibility and the main inspirations for his artwork. Amongst other things we discuss how he protects his work from copyright infringement, collaborations and his attitude towards hard work and mental health.
