Right: Probably his most famous work
"I did what I wanted and I had a lot of fun, and it's quite addictive having fun!"
"I didn't do it just for the money."
"YELLOW CITY" "FREYJAS CASTLE"
"...if I were to say what my biggest influences are I'd have to say landscape. Landscape is what continually inspires me and to a degree landscape painters of China because between the ages of 12 to 14 I was in Hong Kong and beginning to notice and be impressed by things."
"...if you start off being a good musician and you don't completely rot your brain with inappropriate actions, you get better."
"FLOATING ISLAND"
POSTSCRIPT
