Default Philippine QB artwork

I have these drawings on all faces of the wood spar stubs on my QB 8 fuselage.
Wondered if anybody else also received theirs similarly decorated?
At the time I thought to myself that somebody spent some time doodling but then it occurred to me that anybody with that kind of talent could probably knock each of those drawings out in under 10 minutes each.

So, show us your Philippine artwork

I have rotated some of these so the subject is correctly displayed.

Those are fantastic! I hope the quality of the riveting matches them.

Did your fuselage arrive in good condition?

Yes it did. No complaints at all. Had it brought from Van's to me via Partain.

That's great news. I believe Partain is handling mine as well. You ought to cut that wood into a manageable size and hang one of the drawings as garage art.

I'm gonna feel a little bummed if my spar carry-through is just plain wood.

I was thinking I might plane one of the better ones down to super thin and secure it in the tailcone as a sort of talisman.

Reminds me of some of the little artwork treasures I found etched onto the printed circuit boards of Sequential Circuits keyboard synthesizers back in the 1980's.
