The pics don't really do the obsessive level of detail justice mind. Anyway, I've got a little exhibition at the national glass centre in sunderland if anyone's passing that way.

I really like that. The detail is awesome. Must have taken an age to create.
Can you tell me a little more about the piece - thoughts behind the image/meaning - that sort of thing. Or is it just an image to be enjoyed for what it is?
Interested to know, cos I think it looks quality.
Cheers

(not very urban-art but it all helps).
Coach: Yeah, it took quite a while. My wife thinks I'm nuts to let it go at that price and pointed out that if it sells then I'm working for way less than minimum wage. I'm more used to working on a much smaller scale.
This is probably going to sound cheesy but the stripey octopus heart thing is supposed to be a specimen of a grasping, avaricious and lustful creature of the id, capitalism personified. The background is gives the creature context with the FT pages representing the movement of money beneath everything dressed up in distracting nationalistic stripes.
I've done some similar stuff on plain financial paper here...
