“Describing yourself is a tough one,” explains Black Yaya, aka artist and illustrator David Ivar.
So, Huck gave David a chalkboard took him for a walk around Shoreditch to help him out.
After his wanderings, he sat down in Huck’s HQ to talk art, music, bodysurfing on the Moroccan coast and being inspired by Raymond Pettibon.
Better know as one half of French indie duo Herman Dune, Black Yaya is David’s infectious new solo project and he performed a Huck exclusive acoustic version of ‘Lo & Behold’ from his debut album Black Yaya.
