yyyyyyyDuring 2002, I spent five months in Japan studing the art of paper-making. This is an ongoing fascination of mine.yyI'm most interested in turning the paper into an illustration itself during the act of making it, incorporating design into the creation itself. Beyond that, I've also found that scanning in the paper and using it as layers in Photoshop knocks back the mechanical feel of computer illustration. yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
