Thanks to his experimental and highly risky mixed techniques, Pedro has been keeping his clients on their toes since he was 18. Restlessly, he seeks for fresh ideas, but for him nothing compares to a good old fashioned drawing session isolated in the privacy of his dark chamber.

Belgian illustrator living in the beautiful city of Brussels, Mydeadpony is a self-taught artist whose illustration and watercolour techniques approach is influenced by fashion, street art and graffiti. Mixing digital media, painting and sketches and drawing on watercolours, splotches and textures, he creates immensely detailed images that are both meticulous and ethereal.

Here's our 15th wallpaper to download. This illustration is part the new personal researches from Mydeadpony, a belgian illustrator living in Brussels. His concept for this illustration arises from the French expression langue de vipère, (viper togue) meaning sometimes we have terrible words - like the venom of the snake that bites - that we often regret afterwards. The woman who thinks about her mistake embodies this expression, the venom is coming out of her mouth. Do not hesitate to share this wallpaper around you to have people discover Mydeadpony's fabulous illustrated world.

 The Colagene experience according to our clients:

Thanks for being so professional and sending me all the material so quickly: if all the collaborators worked like you, I would be really happy ;-)
Ruth Varillas, Picture Editor, FHM Spain

We collaborated with Colagene for the first time recently and everything went very well. From the brief to the reception of the final files, the communication was perfect and so was the reactivity. It was a first for us and we most certainly will get in touch again with Colagene to work with the talented illustrators the agency represents.

Collaborating with Marie-Christine, Paris’ clinic agent, was very nice. I was able to realize an agency project for a client’s account, The French Golf Federation. The illustrator Takeshi understood the creative concept and delivered it just as I had imagined and sold it to my client.
