Dhany Pramata, or as most people call him, Bang Dhan ("bang" in Indonesian means brother), is an #illustory cartoonist. As Dhany describes, #illustory is an artwork that tells about childhood activities. Some of Dhany's works have gone viral on the internet and his Instagram account now has more than 100,000 followers.
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." In 2012, the artist started posting his artwork on Instagram, which received a lot of attention from other people. When asked which part of his creative process the artist likes the most, Dhany told Bored Panda that the sketching part is his favorite, because it is the first process in drawing.
Before working as a cartoonist and illustrator, Dhany Pramata studied painting, caricature and other forms of art. The artist revealed that he is a big fan of cartoons that are printed in newspapers. He considers them, as well as some senior cartoonists, a source of inspiration.

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."
