The Ratcatcher poster (personal work)

Inspired by the fairy tale "The pied piper from Hamelin", also known as "The Ratcatcher".

This is one of many drawings that will hopefully turn into a short animated film some day.

Instruction Manuals (personal work)

I had an idea for instructions manuals for life, with a twist. These would feature tips for how to survive different things in life, aimed at grown-ups but with a simple style of drawing.

Life drawing (personal work)

Two sketches from the countless life drawing sessions I used to attend, ever since college. I love having the time to get lost in the hand-on feel of charcoal on paper, now that I spend most of my time drawing on the computer.
