I thought this might be mildly interesting. Just a few facts that you probably didn't know about me and my art! Hope you enjoy!


• The first appearance of my current character style, and my main character, Yalé ("Mehn" species) was in my piece "Toxic Mix" in 2009

• My "Mehn" characters initially started out as a mutated fish with large lips.

• My characters where originally meant to be graffiti characters which I had planned to accompany my tag.

• The name Yalé originates from the name of the Vancouver neighbourhood, Yaletown. It is pronounced "Yah-lay"

• My username, "Ecstatic" comes from the Mos Def album, The Ecstatic.

• "ectsy" stands for Ecstatic Creates T-Shirts for You. It initially was supposed to be my dream t-shirt company.

• "ectsy" derives from my nickname, Ecstatic, which I used on all tagging forums and graphic communities. It first appeared as typographical element in my piece "aa" in September 2008.

• I consider my piece "Nomadic" to be my current magnum opus.

• My piece "Imagination to Reality" is based off of a video game concept I was working on.

• In my piece "Color Crusher", the green character on the left, I made when I was 10.

• There is an error in my piece "The Perfect Shot". The film hanging in the background should have contained negative images.

• The same black rocket ship can be seen in "Escape Remix", "Imagination to Reality", "The Invasive Species", and "The Next Generation"; and follows its journey in that order.

•The planets from "The Invasive Species" can be seen in the background of "The Next Generation".

• In my piece "Beyond the Pond", the cat from "Stay On My Grind" can be seen on the floor as a plushie. Beside him is the ball from the N64 game, "Glover".

• The UFO seen in "Beyond the Pond" can also be seen on the floor in "Imagination to Reality"
