Dhany or Bang Dhan has loved art since his childhood. "When I was in school, I became a cartoonist for the tabloids. I also often participated in drawing competitions at that time."

It's almost impossible to not feel nostalgic by looking at these illustrations. Dhany confessed that he really likes the feeling of nostalgia: "it makes my heart happy. If other people express their ideas through photos or writing, then I express my ideas through cartoons and comics." The artist also admitted that in his opinion, times have changed a lot: "there are many things that we can't see anymore."
