“ you can find inspiration in anything if you look at it in the right way, marks and stretch in the walls can be used to discover a new texture, or you can experiment with stones and everyday objects. it just a matter of finding something that intrigues you visually and figuring out how you can explore these everyday findings and incorporate them into your way of working ”
― Jonny Wan

“ Do not only inform, but also challenge your audience. For every piece of information, there has to be an illustration, and every concept a story. ”
― Dr. Lucas D. Shallua
