I also had the pleasure of exhibiting my, yet-to-be-published work, “ever so slightly”, alongside some of the pictures I have taken over the years that feature in this comic.

I gave a surprise class at Etic (Lisbon) for students of the "Illustration for New Media" course. It was a mix of getting to know me/my work and some exercises to deconstruct their projects based on prompts from Yoko Ono's book "Grapefruit"
