TAKE ON ME style portrait by

Self portrait of the artist with Norwegian singer Morten Harket of A-ha.

A-ha’s video for Take On me inspired me to become an artist and illustrator. Inspired by Philip K Dick, a science fiction author who wrote stories that he later claimed came true, Jorge Luis Borges, Jean Baudrillard, existentialism, Dostoyevsky, serendipity, and a wish made for my 30th birthday, and also at the Nobel Peace Centre in Oslo, this illustration is now the pride of my portfolio.

If you would like to commission me to illustrate a similar portrait, please get in touch! Disclaimer: I cannot guarantee a meeting with Morten!!
