PART 4: HOW? The Image Crafter’s Manifesto. From ‘The Illustraitor’ Every piece is made in its own strange way. Here’s mine. How does this happen? By chasing accidents until they become intentions. By mixing tools that were never meant to meet. By letting the process surprise me more than the plan. Some days it begins with a line. Others with a fragment of light caught in a photograph. Sometimes with nothing at all...just the itch to see what doesn’t exist yet. It’s part orchestration, part surrender. A negotiation between my hands, my mind, and whatever ghosts live inside the tools.
