    very well done. I just had to have a print of “the torrances” – gallery is very friendly – wish I were closer to LA and able to see the whole crazy 4 cult showing!

    Does anyone know if any of this stuff is licensed creative commons so that i can print my own? Also i’m looking for high rez scans of any of this work. Thanks!

  • Zergonapal

    This is why your art teacher tells you not to draw from 2D pictures.

  • Kirk D

    Hey Mothy, the artist here, the images I have of these aren’t all that great (high-ish res photos), but if you email me (kirkd at centurytel.net) I’ll send you what I’ve got and you can print away.

    (Thanks for boinging me David!!)
