I LIKED THAT STAGE OF THE PROCESS BEST. WHEN WORK IN THE FIELD OF GRAPHIC DESIGN BECAME TOO DIGITAL FOR ME I THOUGHT WHY NOT DO WHAT YOU LIKE BEST...
LEAVE THE COMFORT OF THE COMPUTER, REDISCOVER MY HANDWRITING AND DEVELOP NEW IMAGES WITH NOTHING BUT PENCIL AND PAPER. LONG HOURS. SLOW PROGRESS. BUT FULL OF AMAZING MAGIC LIKE I NEVER COULD HAVE IMAGINED.
WHEN I DRAW I KNOW WHAT I DO WITHOUT THINKING. IT TELLS ME WHO I AM AND HOW I SEE THE WORLD. ALL THAT I EXPERIENCE, ALL THAT I FEEL, IN ALL IT’S BEAUTY AND UGLINESS IS JOINED IN A CONFUSING BALANCE THAT YOU CAN OBSERVE FROM A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
