Inspired by mythology, celtic gods, other deities and the wonders of nature. I wanted to represent beauty, power, elegance and the fragility of our surroundings.

Inner Daemon 2023

Micron pigma on 11x14 Strathmore 500 series

Rather than a source of evil, the inner Daemon is a positive influence, the inner voice guiding you on where you should direct your energy and effort. For me, my passion is my art, without which I'd be much less sane and without much meaning.

A homage to the creative passions that direct and fulfill us.

The Celtic deity of the forest and fertility, often worshipped as the "lord of the wild things". A balance between humans, the earth and the spirit world, with a connection to The Green Man and Pan.

The wrath of nature! Uncontrollable forces leading to disaster but also an opportunity for growth and new beginnings. The Norse Rune Hagalaz on the chest of this wild creature, symbolising radical change, Jungian shadow and opportunity. Precarious times.

Inspired by mythology, celtic gods, other deities and the wonders of nature. I wanted to represent beauty, power, elegance and the fragility of our surroundings. II is a shapeshifter with 3 animal heads that can change at any time and a raven to whisper secrets and prophecies.

Protection 2023

Copic multiliner/micron 0.03 on 11x14 Strathmore 500 series

Protection, something we all need at certain times in our lives. This piece is inspired by an elder brother who always looked out for us 5 siblings while growing up. The smaller character has a path to follow, a path to find his own way. Ravens have always symbolised guidance, prophecy and insight to me. Connecting worlds together with elegant mystique.
