music always gets me going, so it often appears in my works in some form or another.
blindfold and paperbag girl came to me one day, and since then they helpfully reappear when I need to get out of my creative rut.

album covers are my soft spot. Disturbances from music related projects are always welcome.

and an encore for the same advertising agency. We were pleasantly surprised when they agreed that colour isn’t necessarily better.
big budget weddings: They too are unlikely to go out of style. Everything here is hand painted and handwritten.
lifestyle magazines they’re always going to be around, so some pretty illustrations would never go to waste.
large walls can always use some prettying up. These were painted for an underground club in Bucharest with a fairy-tale-esque theme. Because of a super tight deadline, there was no time for initial sketching, so I was making things up along the way with paintbrush in hand.
ink, brush, and scanner because it’s interesting to see what comes up after you can’t find the ctrl+z function on your drawing table. Everybody and every city starts to look more soulful this way.
graphic novels an artform that’s often underrated. Growing up, I ate comics for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Now let me feed you some.

The following pages feature some of the works from that project: part historical-part fairy tale environments meant to take place in South East Asia. Initially these paintings were meant to be only design reference for the flash animators to convert into vector backgrounds, but the project director decided to use these paintings directly as background instead.
