"2011 has been an intense year, full of learning experiences, a year I learned to be very thankful for the friends and peers I have met through customizing toys. I experimented a lot with my work, trying to think outside of the box and use different colours, techniques and subjects, venturing constantly into unfamiliar territory. It has been a great experience, but 2012 is going to be all about refining my ideas and perfecting my style."
"The highlight of this year was without doubt the 'Icons' Custom Toy Show in Leeds, England, where I was fortunate enough to meet many of my favourite artists, and show my work alongside theirs. For that I must send out a massive thanks for Barry Darnell at the Hang Gang for his support."
