All sixteen Doctors from Doctor Who in a flat graphic style against plain coloured backgrounds in a grid. Their numbers are written below them. Oh, and they have no faces or hands, it's just their costumes! Nearly forgot to mention that!

OK. All done. Pedants? I'm not interested, this is MY Doctors.
If you are interested in an A2 print I've decided to knock the price down so that it's Β£60 plus postage (assuming I get enough interest to make it worth my while)
Let me know here or in DMs if you are interested. Probably print 10.
