"Diego's work is transporting...the ethereal nature of it takes you out of your head and into a dreamscape. He's able to reach in and find the soul of the subject and gives it a universal relevance." - Todd Nickey

A lover of simplicity but without fear of flair, Todd describes himself as an object-obsessed observer. His studied but unfussy design is full of detail, and always spliced with a bit of the unexpected.
