Artist Statement

Graphic Designer and part-time Artist. With my design work I try to incorporate as much traditional ink illustration as possible before moving ahead onto a digital plane. My work is highly influenced by East-Asian arts both traditional and modern, comics, Americana, Japan and “street culture”. As an Asian artist and designer within the Western world, I wish to communicate the values and methodologies of both cultures within my work.
