Biography
Lou Pimentel was born in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic. When he was four his family moved to Florida for a few years before settling in to Brooklyn when he was nine. Lou began drawing at the young age of four; with his father's help he started by drawing simple little fish. When he was five he would trace comic books and as a teen his art was greatly influenced by the streets of the city. He is a self taught artist. The influence of his urban upbringing and fondness of pop-art can be seen in his work. He finds inspiration from comic books, cartoons and graffiti. He is a well rounded artist that works with paints, sewing, beading, sculpting, and other fun crafts. Currently Lou is working as an up and coming artist in Brooklyn and plans on spreading happiness and joy across the world through his art.
