q)What is it that you do? What media do you use?

with surreal forms.

are spray cans,
acrylic paint and lots of paper for collages.

a)I think its a mix of characters
and abstract forms.

your work for?
Did you have a “big break?”

the street,
at that time it was the only one way to show

looking to show their work?

to think about the ways
of showing you work.
Show what is inside through
your work,
make it interesting and you will
get there.
