Making more grotty grotzilla collages, i like to make them up as I go, as a fun change of pace from my usual planned-out work, and it's fun to see how they turn out!
This one is textured paper, charcoal, acrylic paint medium, tippex pen & fluorescent card. Loads of textured and layered bits!

consider dropping a kofi donation, or reposting a shop link, or even just, leave a comment so someone knows you like their work
it does matter
