>From an interview at www.illustration.ws :

Cut-Out is the main technique that I use. Usually, my drawings are hand drawn (using oil pastel, watercolour and pencil) and then I put them together in Photoshop, adding textures, fabrics, photographs, and scanned objects. I like to use my own handwriting or type that looks a bit “processed”, due to painting over it, cutting into the letters etc. Although I use the computer a lot, I like my work to look organic.
I recently illustrated 3 posters for a Twix ad, for which I also made the typography. They very much look like something out of my own children’s books.
