My Yule. My Way.

When I was younger, I often found myself dissatisfied with the way Christmas was being presented to me. Television, music, books, magazines, school...they weren't selling me on the idea. They weren't happy enough. They weren't marvelous enough. I wanted to feel what it was like to have magic blossom on earth.

The fault, in fact, was in the festive.

How can Christmas be ideal? What would make it ideal? Clearly the answer was in my hands - and it could only be seen on paper. I wanted to draw things that were unabashed and unreal. I wanted my drawing to be the most perfect expression of joy.

And it was so perfect, it took two scans to capture it:

Very trippy. A sprinkle of 'shrooms in the nog, perhaps?

Fantastic! So detailed! It reminds me of My Little Pony and its candy colours...

I feel like I have looked at the inside of your head.

I often felt that something was missing. How did you know that it was unicorns?

This is fabulous- this looks like an illustration from an amazing children's book. I think I need to hear the story that goes with this, and all of their adventures.
(and I too, wish I could think of something other that planet unicorn,hey....)
