I love how thoughtful Pinhead looks. It’s endearing, really. Or maybe I just have a bit of a thing for Cenobites. Regardless, both pieces are beautiful.

Hey, that water mark is in the Buffy font! 😀

Pin Head is awesome, too. For a split second, I also thought they were actual pins.

While I normally avoid such places far up north like Canada during times like this.. If I’d be able to afford it, I would certainly go up to Montreal to get some beautiful portrait work by this lady.
