Early Life

Career

Kidmograph started working online in 2005 but Kidmograph as a concept was born in 2012 with the objective of growing a universal but at the same time personal library of animated loops that chases a feeling, a sensation, sometimes abstract, sometimes too literal. Over the years, his artwork has been proved to be eclectic ad having a strong background in beauty arts allowed him to explore and discover a unique voice through the years. From surrealism, Lo-fi, classic 80's/90's, passing through hand-drawn animation and 3D modeling, the diversity of techniques derived in great collaborations and client projects.

He has worked in the music /entertainment business with a vast list of international clients, such as Apple, Adidas, The Strokes, Maroon5, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, etc.   ^[2][1][8]

Kidmograph X Dream Catalogue (Special NFT Collection)

Dream Catalogue released <em>Birth Of A New Day</em>, the second album from 2814, in January 2015. The project is an introspective album of dreams, romance, yearning, and melancholy, distinguishing it from any typical cyberpunk output.

Kidmograph works on the visuals of Born Of A New Day and his artworks depicted the emotive quality of each track on the album in an 'eternal loop' form, capturing the overwhelming feeling the album brings to life.

The original idea from the cover and the actual piece was done in 2014 (the album was released in 2015, but I finished the artwork on 24th December of 2014. It opened a narrative that helped us to start envisioning the extension of it, growing new ideas, the birth of a new day.

In total, Kidmograph drops 7 exclusive non-released animations for each track, two minutes of special adaptations for each track, and an original animated cover.
