This piece was commissioned for a journalist who is often seen working at the state capitol - see him there, right by Huey P? We loved creating this piece for him, and it was quite different than our usual pieces (our most requested architectural pieces are recreations of clients homes). The piece is an 8x8” wooden creation, with 5 layers of 3mm birch wood. It is designed using Procreate on the iPad, converted to CAD files, then cut on a laser and then hand painted.
