I was informed that the figure on the left is the devil

The art cart is running throughout August in Oriel 1, St Fagans:National History museum. Taking inspiration from the Pop Peth exhibition, we have been designing cd covers.

The crowd is great here! Bottom right you can see that the artist has given the album five stars.
