 <----- I love the color contrast the compliment each other well, also this girl kind of looks like me. not only is it in grids which is really cool I like how each block almost has a different type of pattern.

 <--- I like this image because it shows how Close does his massive portraits, you can see his setup.

<---- I like this one,again for almost the same reason as the one above, when they say massive portraits its MASSIVE I mean look at the portrait compared to that lady its pretty big.

<--- same with this one, just look at how big they are, i can't imagine all the time spent on these art!!!!! it must take a lot of patience, which I DON'T HAVE!
