Hello friends,
I’ll be a speaker at Lightbox Expo again this year and on top of that, I was asked to do a painting for it. If you were there last time, you might have seen the big canvases in the foyer. It’ll be one of those! The artwork will be printed at 4x4m (That’s around 13 feet...

I‘m back! I can’t tell you how great it is to actually be drawing again. The upside of taking a bit of a break is that I now have a huge backlog of ideas I want to work through, especially for my project Phantasma. I really miss it, so this year I want to make some progress!
I think th...
