Description I don't eat mushrooms (unless theyre chopped up into tiny bits and are part of a sauce, or are a "special" breed..) because they kind of taste like dirt, and either feel like I'm sucking on eyeballs or a chunk of dolphin. But how fricken cool do they look!

I used Artline felt tip pens, "Chaos Black" Warhammer paint , a bit of white paint here and there, lots of water.

Hope you like

OH! umm..this may be impossible but if you want you can try and find my name (Simon) written in there somewhere. I think the 'S' is pretty easy to see, but then again I know where it is

How funny. I like mushrooms, love butterflies, luxuriate in abstract art, and am drawn to black and white. It's like this was custom made for me. Heh.

I love how you used the intricate details to press dimension into the picture. This is definitely a work I can learn from also. Now I'm off to collect it! Thanks for sharing.

Mm..

I'm seeing lots of S-ish looking squiggles around 8|. 'Specially at the bottom..
So I personally abort this finding-your-name challenge xD.

Awesome. Lmao xD I hold that EXACT same perspective on shrooms, myself xD.
Cool lookin mofo's those things are .

A chunk of dolphin, eh?...
well that actually DOES accurately describe how it feels like.

And the criss-crossing...it reminds me of brett helquist. :>

And mushrooms are cool. I do not know what nutrients I get from an organism that sucks on rotting things, but hey...any day I get to experience munching on a chunk of dolphin or sucking on an eyeball, I'm a particularly happy person.

I envy you and your ability to embrace the dolphin chunk/eyeball experience. Thanks for your kind words too

I really like this one it just all seems to fit together. You must have alot of patience to do these. I also think mushrooms don't taste great, do they even any nutrional value?

This is so cool! And I feel exactly the same way about mushrooms... they definitely taste like dirt! but every time I say it, people look at me as if I was crazy.

I don't know about the dolphin chunk though, I've never had any before
