He loves scraping through themes of erotica, body positivity, self love and experimental fashion in his personal work. His art is witty, bold, rebellious and extensively expressive.

A sketch may serve a number of purposes: it might record something that the artist sees, it might develop an idea for later use or it might be used as a quick way of graphically demonstrating an image.
