TWISTING FEELS GOOD!

I have just completed a "Twist" for the Feels Good Project. I was given a photo of some locals and asked to "Twist" the image by putting my slant on it, here is my attempt (original image is on the left, my image is on the right!). The Feels Good Project is a charity based exhibition project that is being put on in Taiwan, some big names are taking part such as Ian Stevenson and Jon Burgerman etc. There also happens to be a few people i actually know taking part such as Monsters Monsters, Mr Ben and James Bourne. it sounds like it will be a cool show, i just wish i could go over there to actually see it all!!
