Hello world!
I'm George Drone, I live in Athens-Greece and I'm painting and experimenting with arts since I remember myself..

Nearly 2006 I start graffiti that i continue until now legally. After feeling the need to get better on graffiti and characters, on 2008 I try to make some more serious studies on fine arts academic painting and drawing taking 3 year lessons from Mr.Sarasitis, Mpelntekos, Kostas Pappas, Kostas Esslin, Marita Niakarou and finally Tasos Kaliakatsos who wakes me up about what unique and real art is.
On 2010 I become a student at Aristotle University-Fine Arts School of Thessaloniki which I stay only for the first 6 month period, where I do tattoo my very first human canvases and leave because of economical and school system problems, returning to Athens.

Although, after my 3rd rejection for Athens School of Fine Arts, I can't wait for my entry to start inking professionally. I take seriously tattooing, pooping my university and making my own personal studies for whatever I'm into.

Willing to become better before scratching everyone's skin I decide I need an apprenticeship and ask the best tattooer of my town if he can teach me.

On December of 2012 I start my apprenticeship with Proki, I learn a lot watching him doing his thing and working at his studio for 6 months.

I have to leave the studio, and continue at home for 3 months.

Deciding to work at a studio again after some requests for me, I make a start at Dermagrafics, the first legal Greek studio(DTC*98), but I'm not willing to continue and leaving after the first 2 months..

February 2014: Proki hosts me at Proki tattoo studio and i'm working with my own customers there..

March 2014: 3 month Guest spot at Iron & Ink Tattoo studio, Vejle-Copenhagen-Denmark...

That's all till now, thanks to all for your interest and support,
Drone14 ;)
