Interview:
Why did you choose to enter this work?
In all these projects I was very free and left a lot to coincidence, but at the same time I knew exactly what I wanted. So I am rather surprised that that they turned out so well.
What’s your favourite thing about your shortlisted project?
They are works where I felt I could go a step further by trying something new and that, above all, it worked so well in the end.
What excites you most about being shortlisted?
that i can stand in a row with so many great international artists. especially when some of them are good friends!
Where do you usually work?
Until recently I was in a large studio with many artists, which was great for a few years. But now I work in a big room in a quiet building, alone with a lot of space to work and for my thoughts.
How long did it take to complete your project?
less then then a day, everthing happend very quickly.
What is your dream commission?
louis vuitton travel book. okay that is very specific, but something where i can travel and draw a lot.
What’s your favourite thing to draw?
People in all their diversity
What is your best tip for other illustrators?

What are your plans for the future?
