During my first month in New York I settled for a theme of trying to capture all the different ways of hailing a cab.

The summer of 2012 I spent in New York. My girlfriend was in a show on Broadway, so for 5 months I was a kept man with a life of cycling, take-outs, bagels, capoeira, and sushi. But also a lot of printmaking. I got a scholarship at Manhattan Graphics Centre, where I learned both paper lithography and Japanese woodcut printing. It was like being back in college again. In the paper-lithography-course there was a little core group that got quite obsessed with printing.

During my first month in NY I settled for a theme of trying to capture all the different ways of hailing a cab. Whenever I needed more inspiration for another print I would get on my bike with my sketchbook in my pocket and cycle around Manhattan and draw.
