Very interesting Scott-well imaged as usual...

I would have expected the pictures of the world leaders to have been rendered in caricature but they seem reasonably normal,
unlike the caustic representation on the reverse.

Nice, any reason why he used an oval?

1jester

Perhaps he used oval in order to more easily depict the four faces?

Yes, I believe it was a design feature to assist with the placement of multiple people, much like K-140 below. Please excuse the quality of this image, it is earmarked for reimaging when I get the chance.

His first show and he's doing an ANA show? Someboby out there better be on the lookout for him with a vial of smelling salts. Going to have a case of sensory overload going on. Better get him into a straight jacket and under no circumstances allow him to get near an ATM machine with his credit cards.
