I tagged this article about an artist and designer for notability in January this year as it was sourced to the artist's company's website and to one newspaper article, so I was not clear that he is notable under WP:NARTIST, WP:ANYBIO or WP:GNG. The sourcing has not improved since then. I have carried out WP:BEFORE and added an interview in external links, but cannot find any independent, reliable coverage to add.
