my biggest and bestest lego print yet! thanks hokusai for making one of the greatest compositions of all time. this is almost the exact same size as the original woodblock prints, image size of 10"x14" (paper 11"x15.25")

if i sell a couple of these it'll fund my camera habit and maybe my rent. $100 + shipping
