I just published a new project on Behance. It’s an ongoing personal project called »Mindshots«. The inspiration for each piece comes from my daily life while working, talking, watching a movie, and hanging out with friends, or while getting bored in the dentist’s waiting room. Some are socially critical, humorous or just plain ridiculous. Check it out here.
