Sebastian describes his work as trashy, and it is so in the best possible way. It was difficult for me to choose my favourites from his pretty large body of work... I love the use of typography in his gluebooks, and I am inspired by his collaborations with other artists, particularly Laura Serra (previously interviewed here)!
