Stage one: A proposed idea for the artwork. This was a very exciting opportunity to push both myself and my hardware to the limits.
Stage two: Four months in the making, I finished the digital painting. Within Photoshop the image size was 270 x 970cm and the working file size was 28GB. It was hard work, both I and the British Embassy are very happy with the end result.

The artwork had to be spliced in to ten panels for printing and installation. Final print was produced in Madrid and was printed on a Formica solid surface.
