Statement
I like drawing with the help of a computer because, after some time, when I have obtained a different perspective of the work, I can still make alterations. Also the matrix-printer output allows for a wide variety of post-processing. I can enlarge, reduce or distort the image-, adapt it to other paper qualities, paint over it, paste things onto it or insert true-to-scale three-dimensional objects and so on.
