2025 – The Outlaw
‘The Outlaw’ – I was looking at those old wanted posters from the 1800s and wanted to create something similar with a bit more colour. Then I started looking at Egyptian art and decided to incorporate some of their hieroglyphic style into the pictures, kind of moving from the symbolic into the naturalistic through various media
