    Alright, Ive got to ask. How do you get started doing this? I pretty much swore off doing more art, but this stuff gets the mind going.

    Edit. Just looked at your site. Excellent work. Especially for having done such quality pieces in a short time. Kudos

      thank you! i started a little by chance, i had done one or two times in art school but nothing very conclusive and in 2020 i saw on instagram artists that made me want to do it again. i put my last savings in good material (pfeil tools) and i started. the trigger was to find a style around the design of plates pionneer and golden record. I liked it well enough visually and it worked well enough on the networks, so I kept going :) I work quite slowly, producing only one or two a year. in the meantime, I make reeditions in colored ink. but all in all, I don’t know why you stopped making art, but if you like it, I encourage you to get back into it ;)

        I love the science angle. I did an ink piece with a friend a few years ago that had the four forces (weak, strong, gravity, etc) and your stuff reminds me a lot of that.

        I stopped because I had a stroke, and it changed how I see my art. But wood working has always been interesting to me. I mostly play music now. Your work is inspiring, hopefully I’ll give it a try.

          ah sorry to hear that, but music is just as fulfilling! the important thing is not to cut yourself off from artistic practice once you’ve practiced one.
