“There are two linocut pieces, one of which is a collection of four plates. It’s based on these flash tattoos. Although now that I think about it, I might have misunderstood the concept of flash tattoos. I thought it meant that the picture was done really quickly, but it probably means that the motif is ready at the tattoo parlour when the customer arrives. Well anyway, I understood it to mean that the text picture was made quickly. Then another one is an American ninja, where there’s this ninja versus a karate man and the American flag right there. And then one piece is based on Commodore 64 cover art with hamburger motifs. There’s just a crazy mood in that picture – such a mess, haha! The fourth work is based on logos and it’s been inspired by that classic tourist shirt look from, let’s say Rhodes.”
