Wow, it’s like his back is a photo album! What a wonderful idea for those who want to always have those they love close to them.
Although seeing it in a mirror or something during sex might get creepy. “Oh, uh… is this your grandmother?”

Great to see more of Chris’ brilliant work. I had the pleasure of watching him create a triple portrait backpiece at the 2007 Swansea Inkfest beginning of February, which was just as amazing as this work. Excellent as ever. Watch out for it when the Swansea Convention shots appear.
