that's an interesting colour Daniel, from the photo, it looks like Mike is in Greyscale?   

I look forward to seeing this progress ;) :)

Hello Daniel,

there is a nice color picture of Mike Taylor in his German book about flats.

It show´s him in front of the Alice in the Wonderland statue in the Central Park of New Yourk Nov. 2000.

He wears a grey jacket, a washed blue jeans trousers and black shoes.

Best regards

Michael

Really fun stuff - somewhere Mike is smiling one thinks.


Steve Lloyd's site - flattinfigures.com also has several pictures of Mike in color including the one shown here.
