I think it is safe to say that around 1999-2000 I was completely obsessed with cyborgs. While I still entertain the idea of cybernetic and enhanced organisms, it is nowhere as strong as back then.

My notebooks have been literally filled cover-to-cover with quick sketches of cyborgs in various poses. In my renderings they always featured grotesque, hyper-extended limbs, implants and spikes growing over their bodies. Guess that’s what happens when you read too much William Gibson.

…and before you ask, no, I have never been much of a fan of H.R. Giger.
