At long last I can present a work I finished a while ago which has been sitting in the framing pile for far too long.

Not all [...]
Yesterday (otherwise known as today in the rest of the world who haven’t caught up yet) was the 5th Anniversary of the US Invasion of Iraq. So I’ve been thinking about what my contribution was gonna be to the blogswarm.

Well there’s a bit of a hoo-ha going on at the moment about a certain illustrator and his creation of a Maori Hello Kitty design. NOTE! This is not a real doll, it is an illustration. This guy does not work for Sanrio and this is not one of their dolls.
