El Eixample, Barcelona

 

Interestingly enough, now we are living in Barcelona City. There is so much to draw in the Eixample streets. I was born in Barcelona and I have strong memories of the city growing up. I have a lot of feelings about moving back to Spain and Barcelona after 10 years of experiences overseas...

Breakfast in the Boatshed, Balmoral, Sydney

The Lobster - Yorgos Lanthimos - 2015

The Lobster is an interesting comedy from Greek Filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos. It explores Western expectations on couples, married or otherwise while delivering a dystopian take on reality where those topics are explored with sarcasm and surrealism. My highlight for this year.

Circular Quay, Sydney

Ferries in Circular Quay, Sydney. I did this sketch in my lunch break. After a couple years working in Circular Quay our office is moving to another part of town. It was a great spot and I'll certainly miss the view.
