Film Splitters
In 2011, a couple of friends, my husband and I came up with a game called Film Splitters. The rule was to mix two or more film titles up, creating a unique film idea. We had some pretty cool film names and, ten years later, I decided to create posters for a couple of them. I think I might make some more soon!

Same Bath Different
Same Bath Different
Same Bath Different was written with the intent of introducing philosophical thought to children. Inspired by the pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Heraclitus, who said “no man ever steps into the same river twice”, the book tells the story of a little boy learning he can never have the same bath twice either. It is a story for children of approximately 3-8 years of age, which proves that philosophy can be taught in a light and entertaining manner.Written by Melissa Mussak & illustrated by André Ducci.Also available in Dutch.ISBN: 9789083159003
