I have now worked with one of the greatest directors of Japanese animation, Shinichiro Watanabe.  Our project is called, “Requiem for a Machine Soul”. Featuring 10 paintings from me and a wonderfully written story by Shinichiro. After reading it, I found it no surprise that he is an animation genius.

The artbook also features a CD soundtrack mixed by Rick Wade, one of Detroit’s leading house music DJ/producers.

“Requiem for a Machine Soul” is now available at the IKOI Shop gallery in Amsterdam:
