I first thought it was some lost work by Vincent van Gogh

Hoopy work peeps - especially like your abstract High8 
Here's my 'latest' effort (
well about 6 months ago) that's vaguely Discy for those who didn't see it yet although it's for my own site
and a link to my own Deviant gallery pages - must work on them some more...

Way, way back in 2005, I attended the last Clarecraft event. I had a go at the 'Paint-Your-Own' event, but my eyesight really wasn't up to the job. At the time I bought three of their unpainted figures from a range that I think was called Woodland Warrors (correct me if I'm wrong). I wasn't much interested in the Discworld figures - apart from anything else, they were really quite expensive, where as the ones I got weren't. 
Anyhow - nearly seven years later and a decent pair of varifocals and I've finally got the figures painted.
I'm quite pleased with the results, which you can see here.

Nice work Tony, they must have taken a while to do (not including the seven years to get started).
The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.

Nice work Tony. I wouldn't have the patience to do anything like that.

Well done, Tony! My hand would shake too much to hold the brush steady!!
