I recently had the big pleasure of creating artwork for one of my favourite musicians: Possessed by Paul James. This is the third poster I have created for him since 2012 and the fourth time I put him on a poster in total (the first one being the poster for the 2008 film The Folk Singer).

Back in October (what feels like an eternity ago), shortly before Germany embarked on a long shut down, I spent a week at the Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst to put one of my larger works on one of the museums hallowed walls.

My humble contribution is of course only oneRead more
