Street artist Bortusk Leer's famous monsters come to life for the first time...
A little background info on Bortusk Leer...
"The fruit of forbidden love between a Lion Tamer and a Candy floss seller BORTUSK LEER was forced to find his own way in the Socialist Republic of Slovenia. Though his early years are shrouded in mystery (some say circus some say tractor barn) by his teens, Leer could be found joyfully daubing the walls of his homeland with fantastical-childlike characters, psychedelic vermin and inhuman collage... Art comedy was born and Leer never looked back, particularly when being chased by the secret police with big-headed pictures of Lenin streaming out behind him ...always sporting the trademark Top Hat and Cane he had won wrestling a Turk on the quay of Messina."
