About Dude With Wings:

Dude With Wings is an exciting work from up and coming artist JayBe (we know he sounds more like a DJ or rap star!) With a style reminiscent of Gerald Scarfe (when we told him this he said "who?") the immediacy can't help be anything other than enchanting. Why dudes with wings? The story goes something like this:

Little bro': "What's an angel?"
Bigger bro': "It's like ......... a dude with wings."

What more is there to say?
