Typography
I am fascinated by type and how it can be used to created texture and depth. All the works in this collection used type in different ways and different mediums.

Waves
This was an exploration of what I could achieves using the same process to create a design. I come up with this interesting aesthetic using digital manipulation.

Some images I used the technique more then once on. The process has this very vertical drip like feeling which a lot of my traditional painting have as well.
