Leave a print is now an award winning film!
I'm back from Zagreb where my graduation film Leave a print was nominated in the children's competition. I had no expectations of winning before leaving and got even less when I saw my contestants cause the quality of the children's films were incredible high in this festival. But out of nowhere I did win! I … Continue reading Leave a print is now an award winning film!

Colour sketches
I few weeks back I bought myself a small sketchbook (A6 size) for the price of 80p. When it's that cheap it goes without saying that the sketchbook itself isn't very good. The paper is recycled, very thin and not white, but rather a greying colour that comes with recycled paper. It's of the same … Continue reading Colour sketches

Although I put the 30 sec ones first we did start on 4 min and went with shorter and shorter poses from there. I think that helps cause to start off with 30 sec … Continue reading Life drawings 2nd March
