Hey thank you for sharing. Last year I gave a talk to the North York Coin Club about Currency Art. I did not know of this artist but I had featured several other artists and art forms.

My most favourite currency artist is Stefanos:

I was hard pressed to choose between Stefanos and Boggs. This guy is just awesome:

If currency art perks your interest this will give you a sense of variety:

It is exciting to see that currency can be more than just a bunch of signatures and sequence of numbers.
