Hi im Martin you can look up my blog on the 56p allstars site. Anyway back to your blog my side kick Yilmaz and i think that Geometric picture looks really cool but it also looks complicated. How long does it take to make a picture like that?

What a good idea to look at his paintings for geometry-did you get to make your own version of Leger’s style of painting?
