I like doing explorations with
no specific stories. This is when
I can push myself creatively

“Sketch idea for the book of
the same title. A babe with big
guns! Science fiction books are
like Hollywood films – they follow
or create trends – and so over a few
years I was commissioned to
illustrate stories about strong
female characters, usually with
very high-tech gear and
mean firepower.”Sketch

“These are interesting
exercises for me, where I try to
do a clean sketch in one shot
with no sketchy lines. It’s a very
instinctual process, but
also forces me to be
very careful with
every line.”
