You may remember my blog entry about Diederick Kraaijeveld’s original artwork of a few months ago. On that occasion I told you he would be portraiting the Hulk for exhibition purposes. When I was away on Winter Trial 2011 “duty”, him and fellow TwinSpark owner Lex Proper rolled the Hulk into the daylight and Diederick cast his eye on the Hulk.
