Tag As FavoriteComment		I spent ages and ages on each panel in the piece. I just wanted to make this really 'tight' - controlled. As usual, the aim was also to get some sort of comfortable focus on a few specific things. Hopefully it isn't too distracting - pleasing to rest your eyes on. Comments and critique are welcomed with open arms.
Don't forget to check out the really close-up detail shots - they can be found here: http://www.iownthesun.com/art/eloquence_det.html. Each of the full panels is life-size in those scans, and the last two are larger than the real part. Oh, and the octopus is called Fred ;]

Wow, this really blows my mind, what medium did you use?

:-) Laura Russell replies: "Just pencil - coloured pencil and mechanical :]"

wow this is beatiful. You don't sell this as a poster by any chance do you? I would love to have this hanging on my wall.

:-) Laura Russell replies: "Alot of people have asked me this; but no - I have zilch money to make prints or posters o_O"

Hey can you please e-mail me at destroyshiva@gmail.com
I've been looking for a while for a good octopus tattoo, and this one might be something worthy. I'd really appreciate it if you got back to me!
