Original artwork description:

Crowds in Bangkok are a constant inspiration for me. It’s the body language first, then the visible culture around the subject. Of course body language anywhere catches my attention… there’s so many angles and ideas that I can just go on forever. I have bought cashew nuts from this person.
The paper I use is a traditional mulberry paper handmade in Thailand. The paper is a thick parchment paper, strong yet pliable. I have the paper made to this size to get the deckled edges which adds to the textural effect.
The close up picture is of higher resolution to be able to get a better feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting.
Interested to have your idea painted in this style? Maybe a storyboard collage from a recent travel, or a portrait? Contact me.
