"Tipu's Tiger or Tippoo's Tiger is an 18th century automaton or mechanical toy created for Tipu Sultan, the ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore in India. The carved and painted wood casing represents a tiger savaging a near life-size European man. Mechanisms inside the tiger and man's bodies make one hand of the man move, emit a wailing sound from his mouth and grunts from the tiger. In addition a flap on the side of the tiger folds down to reveal the keyboard of a small pipe organ with 18 notes."

"The artists worldwide have a dream to create the miniatures of some of the world’s most famous cities. The reason is very simple as you can see the whole city alike and that’s too at one place through your eyes, so artists take the job and created the excellent miniatures. You can’t find a difference between the real one and the miniature except of the size."

Critical Threshold

"Cover painting for the book 'Critical Threshold' by Brian M. Stableford. A girl runs through an alien forest overcome by fear. Little knowing that this effect is caused by the strange scent the many butterflies emit that abound in the forest. She will come to no harm as nothing dangerous dwells in the forest and the effects wear off with time."
