"I reside and work in Bristol UK and studied Illustration at Brighton UK. I've been an active artist and illustrator since 2013. my passion for art and illustration has slowly altered over the years. From bright and colorful characters as well as more abstract challenging work. My method to produce work is using collage, drawing and combing them using 3D. Self-publishing is also a part of my work, along with publishing numerous zines and comics."

Which is your preferred way for creating your collage?

"Primarily not digital" (though it's a personal choice, but the conventional and digital ways of doing work are equally viable and equally efficient) as well as plenty of texture within the paper. I've always loved numerous vibrant colors, but I've tried to get more reflective and mature in terms of my color choices over the last few years. I'm trying to put an emphasis in composition, as well as the shape. My style is very fun as I view the collages as well the drawings I make in the context of playing or doing something that is fun."

What's the secret of creating collages?

"It's difficult to determine what is the main element that guides my method to producing illustrations, and other forms of art. Feeling happy, playing, enjoying, and being happy is my primary reason to produce artworks. My aim is to constantly find ways to integrate this in the art I produce. When I work on art I say to myself: "If I'm not enjoying making this particular piece it's best not to create it, and I'll come up with a different method'. In the majority of illustration, I've discovered that, in order to get the best results simplifying the process can be helpful. If I'm overwhelmed with the details or specific ideas or ideas, you're in need of some time and return to basics. The majority of times this is a concept that could be applied to all information in any format."

"I created a work for a major initiative that was just announced in the UK known as Communitea. 55 artists  including me are invited to make art that demonstrates our shared bonds with Chinese traditions. This work is now available for sale as posters by Roomfifty this is where proceeds will be used to stop closing the London Chinese Community centre from being shut down, as well as to fight the increasing hatred towards Asians."
