My trippy sweater design for ROARK appears in the new Japanese Netflix / Fuji Network show «Number One Jerk Salaryman», wore by former boyband star and actor Shingo Katori! This design was mainly printed on t-shirts but Roark made a sweater only available in Japan (sold out).

Tomorrow it’s US premiere for LUMBAGO in Los Angeles at Slamdance! If you somehow haven’t had enough of watching a man in suit talking nonsense lately, I would highly recommend go watch my short film LUMBAGO. Screening Friday is SOLD OUT, but there’s still tickets for Saturday!

Remember drawing this during history class when I was 17 or 18 years old and realized that I for once remembered what the teacher talked about! Instead of my mind wandering and getting lost, I somehow recorded the lecture into the lines of the drawing. Can’t decipher the notes today, though.

I was lucky to get aboard Flashes beta before it filled up. Flashes is what will hopefully replace Instagram when people realize they don’t wanna be part of Meta. It’s connected to Bluesky, where I’ve posted a few things already, but this is my first Flashes post: a HQ art print called «Saturday”
