Oil on gesso. It took me around 16 hours. I wanted to make them look alive.

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it&#039;s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life&#039;s realities. <br /> Dr. Seuss
