Inksurge asked me if I’d like to contribute a large 3 foot by 6 foot piece to Manila Design Week. It will be displayed on lamp posts in the city during the festival.

The theme for the posters was to propose a solution for solving an environmental problem in cities. So I wondered, what if foliage could become fashionable?!

Growing up in the 80s, it was impossible not to be inspired and influenced by Michael Jackson. In this piece I wanted to pay tribute to that peerless energy he displayed when at his best, both as a singer/musician and as a dancer. Something that Björk said about him once has always stuck with me: “He’s a true believer in magic.”
