ALI BABA
and a Happy New Year
On New Years Eve I spent some quiet time at a artist friends place, out in the country and away from the hustle and noise of the big city. I brought some drawing supplies with me (with plenty of libations in my knapsack), and in between cheers and sampling the beverages, we worked on our art until just before midnight. There was no pressure to produce anything, I was just having fun - surprisingly, this is what came out of it after about 4 hours of working on it. Got finished just before midnight, but I dated it for the New Year.
The New Years Resolution was to do more artwork and less fooling around on the computer.

Super cool piece! I like the multiple eyes and overall creepiness of your drawing! The shading is really well done; I can see texture everywhere :)
thank you - the "overall creepiness" comes from decades of scaring the neighbors, lol
All the best for 2018 Otto!
Upvoted, resteemed.
thanks Leo!
Nice work ! Very visionary. . . Makes me want to pick up a pencil and take a journey !
do it - I had fun, I almost forgot the count-down to midnight!
I love how every time I look at some of your artworks, I see something that I'm not prepared for. And I stare at it for a long time thinking about, what is the reference frame behind it... Every time!
Cheers!
thank you - as for reference: I had nothing specific in my mind when I started, it was my friend that named it!
Interesting choice! It suits the spirit of your artwork like a glove...
Super cool style!
thank you 😊
