Replete with new sketches, by Replete on Jan 14, 2009 0:00:16 GMT 1, Thanks and Mckeans work is something I only became aware of rather recently as I was always influenced by Ashley Wood and Giger but someone mentioned Mckean in relation to my work and I do see similarities. He's a damned fine artist though and I especially like his work on Arkham Asylum.
Does anyone else like Ashley Wood as I never see him mentioned on here apart from me when I mention my influences? Anybody own any of his originals as I've never seen one in person and wonder how much better they look in real life and what price they go for as it'd be something for me to work towards owning one, one day.

It ties in with the other sketch "The Sweet Ornament Of A Meek And Quiet Spirit" which as I mentioned is about humility.

Onto the raffle the winner is Topper!
Well done mate, I'll be in touch via PM
