16 and 17 are spectacular.
Pretty cool. But pretty sure I coulda knocked out a few at least as easy as Camouflage 46. That one's kinda lame.
That being said, I've enjoyed looking at the pictures, and I concur that the artwork is phenomenal. Someone had said that they made strong statements; perhaps so, but, I'm not sure what they're saying. I see this more as abstract art myself -- it can mean many different things to many different people.
this artist is nuts, as are the subjects. but some of the look fake...
i think that 2 is fake, for example, but i think 26 and 46 are real (the flag ones)
