omg,i love this guy. He is so talented. I think the animated short rocks. Totally love the way he sees things.

The work he did for Prada, the prints, wallpaper, animation, bags, are all fantastic looking. I love his style, it's bizarre, charming in a way, but also kind of creepy.

and there's a sexual energy in his paintings as well
same feeling i got when i watched the Prada animation

i found these on illustrationmundo
under his name
i'm not sure what i'm looking at... real things or sculptures

i've been loving the prada stuff (the bags in particular i think are beautiful and unique )
so, it's nice to see some more of his work..

that bird-thing is very odd and creepy though

Oh my god his work is amazing.

This thread is severly lacking!! I'll post some of his stuff...

Has anyone bought one of his prints? I saw a few in a shop and they werent ridiculously expensive. Around the $300 mark.
