Miles Davis meets David Crosby
Miles Davis meets David Crosby—full page illustration for Road & Track Magazine.
Big thanks to @cassidyzobl!
David Crosby was standing in front of the Village Gate, a night club on the corner of Thompson and Bleecker Streets in Greenwich Village, one cold winter day, when he saw a diminutive figure with an etched face approach him. The guy said in a raspy voice, “You Crosby?”

More planty shapes
More planty shapes—this time from inside the house. Mostly ink.
Plants around my house
Ink drawings at 30x30cm. Shapes from the front of the house, the side, and at the back. The last of the Belarusian ink. I loved that ink.
Pulau Seribu memory
This is an old one I rediscovered—a montage (non-digital) of cut-up bits of watercolour paintings—made when I was still living in Jakarta.
It was part of a set of illustrations for a World Wildlife Fund book, but was never actually used in the end.
Illustrations for Road & Track
Sweet illustration job for Road & Track magazine—with big thanks to Cassidy Zobl.
This issue is themed ‘handmade’, and the idea was to create illustrations which depicted the two cars as if captured in a sketchbook. Everything was indeed handmade but some extra splashes and marks, and that fold down the middle of the page in the first one, were added digitally.
