Nice Nice Boyles With Bubble Gum




Here is a digital piece from RRrainrien. The first view is the whole piece reduced. In the second I have it full size (to show detail) but divided to fit horizontally. Rainrien must be a very savvy internet user. Thank you very much for this.

State of Being # 2




Number two from State of Being. I have tried to figure out what this thing is on his head. I even tried inverting the colors in photoshop and I still can't tell. Mmmm, it might have to remain a mystery.
