  1. Famous (but very reclusive) UK artist Banksy did one a bit like it, as a comment to W's invasion of Iraq:

    1. thank you! That is one piece of his I haven't seen before, I admire his smart use of simple methods to quickly transfer his templates to surfaces, and get his art painted fast, but, without the loss of crisp lines. His preconceived visuals are so clever, intelligent, and conceptual... and it's superb that he's remained unknown personally, yet, internationally known for just the art. I've posted his art several times, but nothing new has popped up in a while. Thank you! I love this beetle!
