I can’t stop listening to…
PJ Harvey, Dean Blunt, Peeping Tom, and Vince Staples.
A movie I never tire of is…
Rear Window by Alfred Hitchcock. Also Sunset Boulevard and Double Indemnity by Billy Wilder.
I overcome challenges by…
Persistence.
To me, it’s really helpful when clients…
Create a detailed brief and are honest with feedback.
My process is a mixture of…
Pencil sketches and digital drawing. Recently I’ve been playing around with charcoals, paints and inks and hope to integrate them in my illustration process soon.
For inspiration, I look to…
Movies and literature.
