Happy birthday! It’s my birthday too, but I’m a bit older… not in my twenties anymore.. *sigh* :)

Casey

Happy birthday!

Those mobiles are amazing.. but if I did have one, how would i dust it? Or would i need to keep it in an hermetically sealed glass case?

Natalie

Happy Birthday! 28 year olds are cool! Or maybe I just think that since I’m 28 too…

Uncle Beefy

Oh, Grace! If I’d known I would have gotten you a brand new walker! Ah, 28! About the last time you’ll get to eat cake with your real teeth! Enjoy it! ;)

Happiest of days to you, M’dear! :)

Claudia

Happy Birthday to you.

Ebon is a dear friend of mine and has been privately working away for years on these amazing pieces. He’s having shows in Berlin and Dubai at the moment and I think his moment is just beginning.
