collaboration. - can you see the gray skeleton-like 3-D STIKMAN, heads of Celso, and (white line) lattice-work of infinity.

the work will slowly distinguish itself into individual artists. for starters, that's Celso - the large heads. and infinity - at extreme right. he's the one with the mystical signs & symbols latticed-worked in.

the round paintings are actually done on old vinyl. that's Cbeauty. A MAZE, FACTORY FRESH, Nov 14, 2008
