This week I spent three days making a portrait of Dutch prince, soon to be king, Willem Alexander. This took place in the old inner city of Breda.
The portrait was made using only Dremels, resulting in what you could call the world’s largest woodcut [maybe], at 4 x 4,5 meters.
In the execution I got help from Erik olde Hanhof.
