Tell Tales
- The Author and The Artist
character design, writing, concepts
sketchbook
I blend conceptual ideas with narrative exploration, diving into philosophy through humour, nonsense, and storytelling. I'm currently developing several original stories, eager to bring them to life and open to collaborative ventures. My work often explores the construction of values within nonsensical landscapes, drawing inspiration from philosophies like wabi-sabi and Taoism, all delivered with a whimsical touch. Ultimately, I aim to create stories that not only entertain, but also offer a fresh perspective on the world, inviting readers to use their unique perspetive to find and more importantly build meaning in the unexpected.
A collection of original character designs and sketchbook pages, each exploring different visual language techniques to convey narrative. From initial concepts to more finalised designs, every sketchbook page is crafted with exploration through nature, music, experience to bring unique perspectives from relatable but whimsical characters and tell a story through their shape, form, colour and details.
