Hello Subscriber First Name

I spent most of the heatwave hiding in the studio lately, enjoying the cool temperature inside while everything outside was melting (my studio actually used to be an ice cellar!!)

And those long painting days paid off because the whole Photo Booth Jungle collection is finally finished.

But they are not fully ready for the outside world yet.

Now comes the post-painting phase:
titling, ordering frames, varnishing, waiting for the varnish to cure, varnishing again, fixing the paintings into their frames,
and finally taking proper photos to give you the closest possible feeling to seeing them in real life.

I have this “painting titles” note in my phone, and throughout the creation of the collection, I kept collecting sentences, little thoughts and possible painting names. I haven’t checked it in a while, and I’m really looking forward to matching them with the right paintings now.

The collection already looks really good standing together, even without their evening gowns yet. I’ve become strangely attached to their company in the studio over the last few months, probably because I see them as portraits and little groups of happy friends.

But maybe you’ll see something completely different in them.

I’ll be flying to France while the varnish cures, and when I come back at the beginning of August, you’ll receive an invitation to the online private view before the collection officially goes live.

It took longer than I originally planned, but I think it was worth giving the paintings the time they needed to become fully themselves.

I can’t wait to see the collection in a clean environment and share it with you properly.

Until then,
