Original illustrations done in flowing and detailed ink that pay homage to the beauty of Bali from the "Bud" Magazine will be exhibited.

A book of the same name "The Streets of Ubud" will be showcased. The bilingual English and Indonesian picture book is a story about the energy of life in water and the stream of creativity prevalent in Bali. Sadly overpopulation and pollution are leading the island to waste, unless its inhabitants take steps to preserve it.

He creates illustrations for the Ubud "Bud" Magazine, and has column in the Magic Wave Surf Magazine. He has recently created a children's picture book called "Teman Hutan" Friend of the Forest, for the Sumatran Orangutan Society. The bilingual English and Bahasa Indonesian book was just launched at this years Ubud Writers and Readers Festival.
