Natured & Nurtured S1 #02: Pol Anglada's Top 5

"Back when the popular blogging site Tumblr was unhinged. I met lots of people that I’m still friends with today."

See that ❤️ icon? Try this one weird trick: give it tap and watch as a halo of protective white light envelops your entire being, warding off dark energy and communing you with the positive forces of our universe.

Hello, we are working on more Dick Diaries as we speak, but in the mean time we will be sharing some more Natured and Nurtured posts. For those who missed the first one, this is a new series we are doing exclusively for newsletter readers.

For this edition we asked Pol Anglada to share his five biggest influences.

Pol is a Spanish born, Paris based, artist who has been drawing since he was a child. Pol has collaborated on many collections with JW Anderson, Moncler and the Tom of Finland Foundation. He even created an AMAZING illustration for our very own Supergay Spirits (see below).

Pol was featured in Issue 11 of GAYLETTER Magazine. His artwork is sensual and colorful and full of passion and joy. Just like him!

So without further ado, meet Pol Anglada….

1. 🎥 Tanino Liberatore

• My dad had an extensive collection of eccentric comics from the 1980s. One character I was particularly obsessed with was RanXerox. I was captivated by his universe and the unique style of Liberatore's drawings.

2. 🙎 Hussein Chalayan

• From a young age, I have been amazed by Hussein Chalayan's sensitive viewpoint, the poetic nature, and the modernity he brings to fashion.

3. 👅 Tumblr's Early Days

• Back when the popular blogging site Tumblr was unhinged. I met lots of people that I’m still friends with today.
