7. I like the fact that he likes to work from real objects rather than to just create everything digitally. He’ll roll his sleeves up and get dirty if that’s what it takes. I mean come on; this guy raised black widows to study and film for the into credits to Spider Man.

8. And as for a grid, What grid? Well, when it comes to movie titles…. With his print designs he manages to still let his mind wonder but with the guide of a grid. A controlled chaos, as they say.
