It has been a while (since 2010) since the last time I went onto an artist residency. This summer I am packing a roll of Korean paper, some pens and watercolour and head to Iceland for a month.

Originally I had a plan of doing one quick drawing per day, a break from the labour-intensive works I usually do. Eventually I decided to not even having a plan (which I ALWAYS have) and instead will take time to reflect on the past, gaze at the present and contemplate  the future.

Given enough time to roam the glaciers, snooze under the stars and breath the mythology, I am sure I will return with fantastic ideas, and maybe even some fantastic works.

Last month I had the pleasure to conduct a week-long residency at Harbour School. It was a rather interesting experience to instruct and inspire the children in a school setting. They were given an opportunity to create an exhibition as artists, from conceptualizing their piece, researching images, learning the techniques to write artist statements and mounting the exhibition. It was priceless when they beamed with proud looking at the exhibition.

The children busy learning the ink and colour pencil techniques.

Final exhibition.

Teaching them shape observation with Party Animals. I think they got it. (Hurrah!)

One of the kids chose the exact same photo I did for my “Into the Woods: Songs from Happy Valley” on Google Images! He was rather excited to see my depiction of the same animal.

Increasingly people approach me for artworks and only turn away sadly after I’ve informed them of the price. Now that I rarely do small pieces except for specific projects or exhibitions, it is even more difficult for young collectors interested in my works. I would like to offer my collectors small affordable animal drawings at

Two animals.
