Meet the Artist @Ramonesketch

Meet illustrator and cartoonist Al Pérez aka @ramonesketch. With a flair for the 70s and inspiration from the 80s, Ramone’s art gravitates towards retro styles and cartoon-inspired imagery. Ramone’s reimagined Santa sleigh on this month's Thank You Card is just the thing we needed to drive us into the 2023 holiday season.

A glimpse into the creative world of Al Pérez AKA Ramonesketch.

Ramone Sketch: My style is somewhat varied. I have a more cartoon aspect and another aspect that is more of a dark fantasy art style from the 70s.

StickerApp: What's your favourite technique?

Ramone Sketch: My favourite technique is painting with an airbrush.
