Profile

While mainstream publishing is destined to go digital, my books celebrate the passion for the printed image.

Here you have a completely new concept of book production. My books are illustration based, text plays a supportive role. Most are screen printed in small editions. Quality of print and paper is paramount. There is no third-party publisher, printer or distributor. I create the books from start to finish myself. What you pay for are the costs of paper and printing, and a little bit to support myself while I work on them. On some books a share of the income goes to a contributor.

As a Graphic Artist I like to push the boundaries of graphic expression. In the book context I can experiment free from the usual constraints of commercial illustration. The visual narratives deal with mythologies in contemporary culture, such as consumerism, work-ethic, self-destruction.
