Process

Pencil first, always. Everything after that happens on a screen.

The Pilgrim

New, generative tools aren't a break from the traditional process — they're an extension of it, the same materials and instincts just carried further.

The Leap

Digital and generative tools didn't replace the hand for me — they just gave it more places to go, and that's the part that's stayed exciting.

Traditional line work is still the whole foundation. Everything generative comes after, in service of it.

On the approach

Relic

Start from something simple, then push it through whatever new process is around — software, generative passes, filters — and see what still reads as unique.

Static

Formal training gives taste, and new digital tools are a speed booster for manual work.

Art's Lifestyle

The craft underneath hasn't changed, what changed is the ability of art to run away from the paper, have motion, change colors and digitally adjust.

Pesci

The instinct is still the sketchbook one — draw first, work out what it becomes later. New media just gives that instinct more places to land.
