Thank you Carrie!

Amazing weekend helping the characters of the Jungle Book come to live. The actors were amazing and it was easy to transform their faces into Shere Kan, Bagheera, Baloo, Mowgli, Kaa and King Louie.

Following the success of the exhibition of 2015 at the Brooklyn art library in New York, I am proud to have been invited to participate again in the exhibition of 2016. This is the work that I sent and that is already listed. The theme of the exhibition is «Greetings from a distant land”.
I was asked to make a series of 15 images. 1 will be exhibited in New York, 10 have already been sent to artists from around the world (I have received 10 pieces made by other artists too), and I kept the other 4 (only 2 left).
As soon as I know the dates of the exhibition, I will let you know in case someone is in the area on those dates. What you think about the postcard?
