By utilizing pearlescent pigments in his innovative RGB printing technique his works come to possess visual and dimensional qualities unattainable by other printing processes.

Each commission leads him to develop his printing effects and techniques further; he astounds with emotional results that are only remotely reminiscent of traditional screen printing.
