Some artists will make many works of art in their lifetime, but will never go back and make more than one of a piece. This is something I respect very much, as one-of-a-kind, unique artworks are such a treasure.

Shamefully I have to admit that 90% of my presents this year are store-bought. I'm sorry!

I'm gonna be posting this everywhere, so sorry f-list peoples. I will put the photos behind a cut so you're not spammed too much, but this sucker took me about 2 weeks of blood, sweat, and tears (that explains why one of the corners was soggy, Nick. Sorry...) so I want to show it off!

So without further ado, here it is...
