Drawing since the age of 6 years old, George Moss aka Gmoss, has been developing his drawing skills. He grew up watching animations like Thundercats, Robotech, Mighty Orbots, and  GI Joe.  George enjoyed watching Sci-Fi and Fantasy films. He also listened to positive hip hop, R&B, Jazz, and other styles of music. These are some of the influences that have helped shape his illustration and design style. He creates 2d cartoon character and realistic illustrations.
