I'm in the final throws of this monstrosity diptych that will take up about 15 feet of wall space. It's taking a long time, but it's getting there. You can see progress photos here. I'll host a formal unveiling once it's done - email me if you want to be added to my mailing list for show announcements.

Visit Boris' website - his work is pretty amazing. He does custom furniture, too.
