Why all that?

Illustration to me means sanctuary, elaboration, adventure and freedom. Not only for me but for all those that are going on this journey with me. To worlds near and far. Heros wake up to life and magical beings, wonders are coming true. It’s about empathy and identification.

We’re connected to all creatures and nature and this job is a perfect opportunity to show it, to raise awareness and enthusiasm.
