I was recently commissioned to create some illustrations for a client here in Barcelona. He wanted scenes from his home on an island in Sweden, with his children. It was a fun project and I found out that there are special crayfish that Swedish people eat in Summer. There is even a crayfish eating party … Continue reading

The end of last week was a bit of a disaster for me, when I spilled a beverage all over my laptop, resulting in the motherboard frying. It couldn’t have come at a worse time when I have a ton of work, and am preparing for an exhibition which opens on Monday. Nevertheless, life goes … Continue reading

A mosaic of green, blue, and red emerges in my mind when I visualize Barcelona. A city of flat terracotta roofs, encircled with the olive green forests of the Colserolla rolling down to the aqua Mediterranean. From first touching down in the glass airport to a wander through the textured gothic alleyways or a glance … Continue reading
I picked up a copy of a book I illustrated a while back for an author who runs a Catalan NGO and gives leadership courses. The book is titled The Princess with Braids, and follows the adventures of a young girl as she transforms from a child into a young woman, who overcomes challenges on … Continue reading
Quite a common name here in Barcelona is Oriol and I always liked it because it reminded me of the bright song birds that I used to see in South Africa, called Black-headed Orioles. Pretty in yellow and black plumage, they would call from the trees with a liquid trill, not unlike the ceramic toy … Continue reading

I have an exhibition coming up in a few weeks, and I am slowly (probably too slowly) preparing work for it. I have been fascinated by the stories of the birds living in Barcelona and wanted to explore the little histories of my avian friends living here in the city. Many of these birds are … Continue reading
