Name: Costantinos Pissourios aka versioncos14

Location: Island of Cyprus

Studied: Central St Martins School of Art and Design

Work: Freelance Graphic Artist/Illustrator


My love for drawing and image making began at a very early age, fascinated by the idea of how thoughts and emotions, everyday life observations or even historical events can take form on paper creating a visual spectacle for the viewers to immerse themselves in.

In recent years my inspiration to create art is derived mainly from the music world. In particular from the rhythms and vibes of ska, rocksteady, roots, dub and of course the Jamaican Soundsystem. The story of the Jamaican people rising from the ghettos in a musical revolution.

In my years of studying 1996-1999 i had the chance to experience the soundsystem culture in London attending the big dances in Brixton Academy and of course the Notting Hill carnival. Later on i was involved in the local Reggae n Soundsystem scene here in Cyprus until I built my own sound called Rhythm in Green.

So naturally my work as an artist is so much in tune with the music i love. Reggae music.

My work always starts as a rough idea/sketch on a piece of paper. That is after i’ve done my research of course. If its a personal work of art i usually get inspired by something for days and then i brainstorm and sketch a lot. Slowly i move into more final decisions and step by step the image appears.

I have created work for VP Records JAM-USA, Greensleeves Records UK, Coney Island Reggae on the Boardwalk USA, Lions den/ Black Redemption GER/USA, Ras-EFX UK,

Sound System Sanskriti INDIA, Rising Sound COSTA RICA, Red-i Soundsystem PHILIPPINES, Abracadabra Soundsystem GER, N4me it Sound POL, AZA Lineage JAM, Dj PHG USA to mention but a few..

One of the latest projects i am working on at the moment is the upcoming comic book about Don Drummond’s life created and written by Adam Reeves called ‘Trombone Man -Ska’s Fallen Genius’.

It is truly a fascinating narrative and it constantly drives me to continue my artistic expression, delving deeper into undiscovered boundaries and finding ever more exciting and fulfilling projects and individuals to work with and for.
