Ong Kim Seng: Hi Brother I think I can prove .whether its an Original Z or a fake ! You add in something very personal and original that no one else can imitate ! Even when the painting is hundred years old it can be proven!
Joseph Zbukvic: I remember that spot...we waited for ages for the bus to take us up the mountain ... But we obviously did not mind...we had a great time then 007... Thanks, Z
