THE DETAILS

WHAT art-making tool can't you live without?

“Ink! My work is 90% ink on paper & I typically use brushes & nib pens with India ink & water.”

WHAT is the best & worst thing about a blind collaboration?

“It’s a double-edged sword. The best is the absolute spontaneity of the result: You can never quite predict what you’ll end up with. The worst part is the same thing: Not having full control over the end-product. Though it’s always worth taking that leap…”

WHAT does the word "beastly" bring to your mind?

“The beastly things in our world are usually the misunderstood things. I quite often look to the wild, untamed parts of life, where true magic lies. My art is always an attempt to try to dive into that world & bring it back onto paper.”
