I came across your artwork today and it blew me away. I find it very original and right in my comfort zone for content. Beautiful stuff. Can’t wait to see more.
Love your work, don’t mind to stay in a room like this for a night *;) I tried to search for you in fb, but to no avail. Please let me know once you have set up your profile, would like to follow your work closely!!
