You're probably wondering what happens to all the pieces left over from the jig-art. Do the remaining pieces ever fit together into something good?...
Virgin On The Ridiculous
Flushed with success I did another piece of jig-art a few years later. Maybe 1997ish. This time I went for 1500-piece puzzles. One was The...
It’s A Jungle Out There!
First up and it's not a watercolour. I call it jig-art. I did this back in the early to mid 90s. It struck me one day that all jigsaws the same...
