    Default The Mentat's projections


    Hi there, I think an introduction is in order. I'm Frank Top, 21 year old guy from Breda, the Netherlands but currently living in Stockholm, Sweden and studying at Atelier Stockholm. I'm in my second semester there and learning loads, both from the schoolwork and my peers. Some recent stuff coming up.

                Whoa, great works in here! I always love seeing students' works from any atelier, always something new to learn just by looking. And it already looks like you are applying what you've learned into your more imaginative works, fantastic! Please do keep posting.
