Still doing throwaway art for these throwaway years so

See George? See Dragon? Hey, I told you it's ambiguous. ;-)

Did this one back around 17 December.
2020's was pretty pretty much a throw away year; many kids are gonna have to do the school year over, far too many folks have lost their livelihood, holidays canceled, folks told to give up living to keep from dying so...
Much of the art I'm doing now is throw away as well, quick and dirty on what ever's available. Such as this there's a party tonight on a PBR box.

One of the nice things about weather up here on top of the world is during the winter we have very little wind. It's easier to dress for -40° is you don't have winds blowing your heat away. This snow veil has been hanging off the railing, undisturbed by wind, for over 3 weeks now.
