This bad boy was started on the third of November, and finished on the seventh. In total, there are thirty panels (all of which were drawn separately).

"...the interaction between an anonymous individual and his car, the transits of his body across the polished cellulose panels and vinyl seating, his face silhouetted against the instrument dials.
