I'm influenced by headline news, ancient culture, criminal investigations and patterns in nature. A combination of subjects that should keep me busy for many years to come.

I draw to celebrate the eccentric dreamers. I believe good and bad news should come in equal measures.

Using my camera as a journal, I draw illustrations from the pictures i've gathered. Sometimes certain images jump out for further inspection and transformation. I start sketching digitally on an iPad. Afterwards, it becomes a large scale drawing made in photoshop. Finally I like to see my designs embossed on a surface.

I’m drawn to silk screen, paint and ink because it allows repetition of motif and gives fast, simple colour changes that deliver a tactile hand finish. I use vivid colours to encompass the drama of the situations displayed. Those colours also bring out the eccentric and bold personalities of the people illustrated in the picture.
