Put this one up for sale today. If you like it, and you're anywhere near Chelmsford, you'll find it in Artists at the Meadows. It's made up of thousands of individual shapes, drawn in cyan, magenta, yellow, and black Bic Biros. I'll put a detail shot in the first reply.

Work in progress. This poor Bic fineliner has been at it for four hours and it’s about 10% of the way through this picture. I reckon it’s going to take until the end of the week to finish.

A new laser cut landscape. This one is A3, and made of 14 birch panels painted various shades of red and white. I originally painted it shades of red and yellow but the mid-tones were a horrible peachy colour that HAD to go.

A work in progress sitting in a sunny window so I can see how / where it catches the light. Eight birch sheets, laser cut fixed with 8mm bolts, nuts, and washers. It still needs painting.
