I'd like to see less of the 'paint by numbers' approach to fantasy illustration and I don't care if it's supposed to be a city or a forest of wierd trees or natural stone pillars. The buildings/pillars reming me of Max Ernst 'frottage' art (which is perhaps a good association due to your porno connections)... but your are more square --- like old Max was trying to do one of his frottage paintings on an etch-a-sketch.
