Whoa thank you. I’ve never even heard of this guy.
Pretty amazing.
@...Corman: I think that’s pretty normal. I’m a much less talented artist and I get upset too.
anybody can break down any logical meaning to picture 3 ?
looks like i see someone on the cross
a R on the crib ???
a cross ingraved on the front of the crib
the quote on the wall ??
the bones ??? (not sure)
“IN HOC SIGNO VINCES”
“Upon This Signal Conquer”
Hmm.
