“… basically I just like getting my hands dirty, I love the manual process, I like ripping down old posters to scan the textures, cutting up typography to glue it up in a manner that probably doesn’t please the usual kern obsessed designer, I like exploring old, abandoned places to spend some time alone with a wall, I enjoy photographing closed doors filled with tags and graffiti while standbyers in suits and ties look at me in disgust I like being left-handed I can’t stay away too long from the drawing board to sketch up detailed drawings of whatever goes on in my dreams, I have a slight obsession for human anatomy and I love irony, hence the name Rotten Leftovers!”
