Fan Expo Clean and update two - Bayonetta!

Fan Expo Clean and update two - street fighter!

I am a HUGE fan of the Street Fighter series and with the outing of Super Street Fighter IV, I just had to do a few pieces of my favourite fighter Chun Li and another one of all her Street Fighter IV gal pals, Sakura, Juri, Cammy, Makoto, Rose, Crimson Viper, and Ibuki. The Chun Li was screened on t-shirts and the full cast was screen printed as a poster. (Oh the 14 year old in me is sooo happy!)

YA TA!!!
