What people are saying about Here Or There

mentalistonashoestring says...

Here or there is a lovely use of some very easy to make blank billets—you can make this yourself, and it has a lovely flow to it. The funny thing is, a lot of stuff he's put on here is very commercial; he could have gone to 1914 or Alakazam with these.
