The Hare and The Tortoise /1

“This piece reflects my journey into economics, driven by frustration and a desire to understand how the world works. The artwork symbolises the current economic system, contrasting two opposing mindsets. The hare represents short-term thinking—fuelled by cheap credit, instant gratification, central planning, and debt-driven practices. The Tortoise, in contrast, embodies a long-term perspective, focused on delayed gratification and saving for the future.

Scorpion /1

The Scorpion is a handcrafted sculpture that merges nature’s ingenuity with the sleek aesthetics of avionic & space-age design. Its form draws subtle inspiration from the scorpion—a creature perfectly designed for life on land. This grounded predator finds itself reimagined as a spacecraft-inspired creation. In space, form doesn’t need to follow the rules of function—it’s free to simply captivate. The Scorpion takes that freedom and runs with it, transforming an Earth-bound creature into something that feels at home among the stars. It’s a piece that celebrates the unexpected connections between nature and design, inviting you to pause, tilt your head, and wonder: why not let a scorpion take flight?

Thunder Bird /1

Thunder Bird is an imagined evolution of flight. A seamless fusion of eagle and aircraft, shaped as if nature itself had designed a jet. Its streamlined form sweeps forward into a poised, beak-like nose, with surfaces that flow like muscle and metal in unison. Every contour suggests speed and precision, not in mimicry of either creature or machine, but as the natural outcome of both. In Thunder Bird , the predator’s spirit and the engineer’s vision meet in one pure, aerodynamic silhouette.

Over the years of building cars, the process almost becomes second nature—like muscle memory. We would often work closely with the customer, taking into account various design criteria, sketches, and a collection of photographs. With those rough guidelines in mind, I would imagine the forms and bring them to life. With the Pussy Wagon , I had a vision of a fluid, vintage car-esque shape and just ran with it. It was a lot like coach-building, but with a far more artistic twist. Why Pussy Wagon ? Well, it’s pretty obvious—it’s the futuristic pimp's choice of vehicle.
