Born in Sri Lanka and raised in Oman, Akila  is an illustrator and graphic designer. Starting a career in the business world before shifting into his creative work  in 2018, he focuses on commercial/editorial illustrations and brand design, with a slight halftone obsession.

He enjoys making art that is tongue-in-cheek social commentary that almost gets him white-vanned and other general nonsensical themes. Akila’s work is mostly drawn to vintage styled illustrations like retro comic books and subjects that walk a fine line between real world issues and pop-culture.

When he’s not scribbling away on his iPad, he’s usually binge-watching something on Netflix, or listening to his Discover Weekly playlist, or thinking about drawing something.
