The Ring Reaper.

So Tim and I decided to make use of the wall in his garage to use some spray cans. I had never used aerosols for artwork before but had been inspired by Owen Dippie, a well-know mural artist from NZ. I wanted to paint something quite contrasty and after a couple days I came up with this. Now I am just starting to think of many more images Id like to spray.

After reaching 10k followers on Instagram I decided to give back and so I created a giveaway of this Jimi Hendrix drawing. The winner of this piece Taylor Hough has been a supporter of my art for a while which is great for me when a giveaway finds a home like this.
