Since most of my work is painted on-location, I strive to capture not only a faithful visual impression; but also the unseen energy. It’s like meeting someone at a bar. You buy someone a drink because of their looks – you stay if they aren’t vapid, crazy and/or have a grating voice.

Bio: I am a graphic designer and I love to create thought provoking art-led design. Whilst I subscribe to the minimal school of design, as many designers do, I feel design which does not simply comform rigidly to the grid system is design which can cross over into art. I am passionate about the idea of typography becoming part of the art, not merely a device for communicating information. -M.H.
My own mood and music. When I create I create very much from my heart. How I am feeling emotionally contributes to the way a piece of graphic art/design might go – I will interpret the brief differently depending on my mood.
I dislike merely superficial work so in my own work I want to convey emotion most of all. I want provoke and question and I want the viewer to look and interpret each piece in their own way.
