Would you ever work on a comic or graphic novel?
When I was a child I drew a few comics about ‘George
the Hedgehog ’. Over the years I have attempted to create
a comic book, and I have taken part in competitions for
children’s books. But I feel that I have always held myself
back from achieving my goals because of my fear of failure,
and that nobody will like my designs. But now I am ready,
and currently working on a book for children about water
protection, the main heroine being an axolotl girl. I hope
that this time I will be able to finish and publish the book.How do you see your practice developing into the
future?
I do not want to resolutely stick to any one particular
thing. I hate being bored and losing interest in something
that I once loved. I think it’s healthy to constantly try and
do new and exciting things to open up my imagination
and allow my creativity to flourish. This method has often
had great consequences, with me producing work that I
never thought I could achieve. It is my dream that my
creativity could one day save the world and bring people
together, it is important for me to hold onto this dream no
matter how impossible it might seem.What does tattooing mean to you?
As a teenager I constantly dreamed about tattooing. I felt
that it was something magical and wild, like the tattoos
once worn by Vikings and warriors. Tattooing to me is not
only a painting on the skin, but something that can also be
a piece of jewellery, a personal history, a transitory mo-
ment in life, or a magic talisman.it’s healthy to constantly try and do new and exciting
