Droog sells out

December 14, 2009 | Words By: Droog79

hairA couple of weeks back I sent a whole load of drawings from Mexico to Bristol for the Drift show. The famously unreliable Mexican postal service did its job admirably, and now these one-off original scribbles could be yours to own.

If you’re interested in purchasing anything, drop me a line or visit Droog Sells Out for this and more of my work. And check out work in progress and general musings on Droog79. Get ‘em while they’re hot, before Saatchi snaps up the lot…
