If you were to describe your work to someone who’s never seen it, what would you say?
Colorful, happy characters.

Someone bought a piece for cold hard cash.

What are you really into right now?
Fashion designing.

The Designer’s Manifesto If it’s not there (then make it). If it’s been made (then take it). If it’s been taken (then steal it). If it’s been stolen (then it’s not there).
