It’s 3 am. I’m wide awake in my studio, finally slowing down a bit. I started a new project. 😀

I am building a forest.

A continuation of my Illustration work (I think.)

Remember this? 🙂

Take papercut ink drawings. Insert found objects, old book pages, yellowed paper.

Make it 3d. Put it on a stage. Make it move. Animate the inanimate.
