His illustrations are very busy and often look as though they're made up of one long piece of string, giving a very loose visual effect. He uses white space as a stark contrast to the masses of heavy black lines; this along with the direction of the strokes cleverly gives a sense of depth and movement to the work. I think the way he made the birds head out of many bird's heads is very cleverly done, and I like how sections of solid black are added for the eyes. My favourite piece I saw was actually the gorilla one (middle), because I found the watercolour wash worked very nicely with the black lines. I also like how the shape of the snout on this one was quite messily sketched in as it differs to the crispness of the fur.
