Leo & Pipo with Hats and Sock Puppets

Leo & Pipo are well-known (and talented!) Parisian street artists who have enriched the streets and buildings of major European cities with their haunting images of long-gone Victorians.  You can read a little bit about them here: http://streetartparis.org/blog/2012/05/16/interview-leo-pipo/

They have also invited a number of artists across the globe to create imaginary Leo & Pipo portraits. I was delighted to receive an invitation and here it is.  This is, of course, an exact rendering of the real Leo & Pipo, trust me.
