This is definitely your best effort, what a fine portrait that Elvis himself would be proud to own.

A personal fave.. and in the words of the man himself Simon, “you’re fantastic, you’re terrific, your excellence is almost scientific” (Wednesday Week).

Wow thanks for taking such a good look at my work, that really means a lot mate, truly :)
You know, I dont really know how I do it, I’ve only been seriously drawing for just over a year, and it’s like something or someone is working through me. I just draw what I see :)
