After a few years away from the pen, 2022 marks a return to the page — and it's clear that the time away didn't slow anything down. If anything, the work came back sharper and more ambitious than before. The free-flowing pieces push density to a new extreme, filling every inch with intricate layered line work where organic waves, leaf forms, and geometric passages weave together seamlessly across the whole surface. But what's really new in this era is a growing interest in structure and layout — circles arranged in grids, compositions built around a strong central axis, shading used to create depth and architectural weight. These aren't just patterns anymore; they feel like designs, with a clear sense of intention behind every element on the page. Starting over turned out to be anything but starting from scratch.
