FREESTYLE PAINTING

Painting a wall at a friends house, starting off without any ideas, just place the first stroke and off we go… that’s how illustration is the most fun.

SOMETHING ELSE

Did this awesome custom painting for my friends boss who totally digs his Pantera GTS. i took some inspiration from the old advertisement style they had when this car wasn’t considered an oldtimer.
