Sutty this is amazing!!!
This is just exactly the kind of art I wanted to do last year in college but it never happened. We got told what to do, great form of self-expression there 😉
I need to see these for real, I cant read all the little details….can just about see “exit strategy”
Oh I didnt realise you could make it bigger!
THis one in particular is rather… well.. Awesome really. It has pride of place at mine at the mo, although alex wants it soon! Can get lost in it if you look to deep, I was looking at it the other day, must have taken a wrong turn and ended up in Narnia! Mr Tumnus says hi!
Love ya SUTToire III
