    :) Absolutely brilliant,I still can't get my head round how it's done.
    The concept requires a very special talent.

    Its a shame these drawings are done outside where the elements can wash them away. They are art...maybe inside..in a art gallery would be the ideal place for them.

    Thanks for Posting these and the site address Shiney...I think all of us have enjoyed these for years.

    Steve...:)

    Brilliant! :gnthb: I love looking at these works of art and agree with Steve about it being a pity that they are done outside and wash away all too quickly.
