This art journal is a more meaningful way to share my studies and behind-the-scenes moments, ensuring they had a lasting place beyond the fast-paced nature of social media.
Here, I’ll share my process here first, offering a more curated experience for the people who take a deeper interest in my work and visit my website.

New Generative Study
This weekend, I dedicated some time to refining my generative scripts. In this concept, I experimented with basic geometric shapes and how they can merge to form cloud-like structures. From left to right, you can observe the progression: I began with darker colour ranges, added highlights, and finally incorporated mid-tones to enhance the volume and depth of the underlying cloud formations.
Later this week, I plan to integrate this with some cloud video footage. Stay tuned for updates.

3D Modelling Studies
I am currently modelling clouds in various shapes for an upcoming book project. While it’s relatively easy to achieve an appealing cloud form when viewed from one angle, ensuring that the cloud appears natural from all perspectives—especially from the top and bottom—presents a significant challenge.
The cloud model shown above has been rotated by 90 degrees and still requires further refinement to achieve a more organic and convincing shape.

Cloud Timelapse from the Art Studio
I’ve been absolutely captivated by the sky ever since moving into my new studio. Watching the clouds drift by has become a daily ritual, and I love capturing these moments. In this video, you can see something special—the background and foreground clouds moving in opposite directions, creating a mesmerizing effect.

New Stamp Study
This week, I started working again with stamps of different sizes. I am considering a small series using my custom logo/initial stamp, which I made a while ago but never used. As you can see in the bottom left corner, it will take some tweaking to place the logo stamp correctly, but the permanent ink is not forgiving, so better luck next time.

The Opening of Art of Punk
The tool, the fool, and his artwork. I stamped this phrase 45,360 times on suspended notebooks to create the 6-meter (20 ft.) wide mosaic POW-3: A Brief Crypto Punks History in 45,360 Marks. This piece weaves together four key concepts, which you can explore here: POW-3: A Brief CryptoPunks History in 45,360 Marks.
Also included are photos from the vernissage of the Art of Punk group exhibition at the Museum Francisco Carolinum in Linz, Austria, curated by Julia Staudacher.

New from my Sketchbook
I’ve filled dozens of notebook pages with ink while working on my recent installation POW-3 A Brief Crypto Punks History in 45,360 Marks. Now, I’m excited to see how I can put them to good use.
