I’m proud to announce that my work has been published on the fourth issue of Brouhaha magazine, Hong Kong. It’s a relatively new mag in Hong Kong but content is nice & a bit indie.

Here’s the link, to view the latest issue (flip to page 42!)

Found a new passion for making feather accessories. Here’s the first couple I’ve made so far.

new work: silent spectacle

‘silent spectacle’

297 × 420 mm

I grew up with the animations of Hayao Miyazaki (My Neighbor Totoro, Laputa..etc.). There is just something magical in his story-telling, especially the curious little characters and secret enchanting moments. At some point I’d like my own drawings to possess that same magic that could touch the little hearts of children. This is the first one of a series I’ve been working on.

The inspiration came from listening to the new Argaman album, My Little Forest. It’s filled with fairy-tale goodness with a touch of madness. Love it and recommend it to all*

illustrative 09 berlin

mojo — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 18:49:59 +0000

Went to check out the grand opening of the illustrative 09 a couple of days ago, and grand it was. The venue was packed full of people, energy, and of course a bunch of amazing stuff to look at. Loved the bold, black and white mural by good wives and the warriors. http://www.goodwivesandwarriors.co.uk

I’d recommend anyone who’s in town right now, to go and have a look. The exhibition will be up till the 1 Nov. http://www.illustrative.de
