I was amongst 120 artists who were commissioned to design a pattern for the cut-out paper dog Gerald. Gerald is the mascot for the design studio Lazerian. All 120 Geralds will be on display in May 2013 in New York and will be published in book form too. You can purchase my Gerald here. More information about the project and exhibition here.

My agent Agent Pekka is opening an office in Amsterdam in May and to celebrate there’s going to be an exhibition of illustrators’ works at Guns & Butter gallery. Pekka’s boss-man asked me to make an actual painting as my work is so “handmade’n’all”.
This one is A2 in size and was made using gouache and airbrush. All the artworks will be available to buy on the opening night.
