What’s the title of your art piece?

Don’t Mess This Up!


What’s the meaning/thinking behind your art piece?

It’s pretty straight to the point - let’s not mess the earth up.


Describe your style in 3 words.

Immature, rude, colourful


Who's on your playlist while working on this project?

My two go-tos when I’m working are either a cheesy meditation mix on Youtube that’s supposed to cleanse your chakras or something, or relentlessly hard techno. Ha.


Where & what will you be doing at this year’s Earth Hour on 28th March 2020?

I’m going to be in Belgium travelling around solo and probably sat in a cafe sketching in my travel journal. I’m taking the train there so at least that’s saving the environment a bit.


If you could change one thing in this world, what would it be and why?

To get rid of our mindless capitalist system that enslaves and exploits workers for pointless profit and destroys the environment in the process.
