FAZOOLI / fah-zoo-lee / noun. One who is full of beans.
Hatched from an egg in the heart of Paris, France in 1979, I am currently functioning as a multi-dimensional creative, currently based in Canada.
I’ve been heavily involved in the Arts & Entertainment industry in Canada since 1995, focusing mainly on the roles of Event Coordinator, Graphic Designer, Media Producer, Art Director, Production Coordinator, as well as being a Visual Artist, DJ and Photographer. I’ve developed a large body of work over the course of the years, while honing my artistic practice in various categories and productions, all of which has become so extensive, that I can’t possibly list every production on this website. Suffice it to say I’ve worked on a wide variety of projects, from local, national, and all the way around the globe - low budget, high budget, I span it all, baby, I just like to have fun no matter what I’m working on. My passion for community over competition has led me to collaborate with many other creatives and businesses from all walks of life as I continuously strive to bring a compelling sense of joy and togetherness throughout my work. If it’s not fun, I’m not doing it.
Life's too short to stick to one thing - so I do what I love and I'll do it to death.

Drawing on influences from my various journeys in life has allowed me to create works that people can easily identify with, as I remix existing paradigms into fresh narratives that are intended to delight and amuse. As an artist, I am continuously inspired by the elements of the modern world that surrounds us, and I enjoy tinkering around with popular elements in order to flip them on themselves to create something humorous, imaginative and relatable. I am often influenced by a multitude of tattoo artists, pop culture, music, film, street art, global culinary traditions, cultural paradigms, graphic design styles, and the art of typography.
The products that I create and design are mostly geared towards making your environment just a little more awesome, at a reasonable cost, as I tend to push back against the cookie-cutter world, in a rejection of the commercially mass-produced. You aren’t meant to live life like everyone else - LET'S GET SUPER RAD.

Featured Artist in LA’s Canvas Rebel Magazine
Really stoked to have been featured in Canvas Rebel Magazine out of Los Angeles - we had a chance to chat about where I started, how far I’ve come, and what it takes to be successful as an artist - and what it really means to me personally at this point in my career.
We also touched on important subjects as how I am able to pivot in an ever-changing world, to adapt to whatever obstacles I face, as well as what I actually feel rewarded by in my work in the community.
I love interviews like this because it really makes me have to rethink on my current perspectives and see just how far I’ve come over the years as a freelancer. Sometimes it helps to breathe new life and motivation into my work when I am at my most exhausted - the best kind of reminder that I’m on the right path and to not give up.
