   I’ve always been a big fan of this time of year. But my favorite holiday is New Year; the revelry and debauchery always had more of a draw for me than warm family fun.

Picture 2

Night Owl was inspired by the artwork of Shag and Todd White. I’m a sucker for that night-life hipster scene. Originally, this guy was to have a female companion who would have been very elegant smoking a long stem cigarette. But I found the assemetry and the empty space emphasized a certain ackwardness-- like this guy makes a regular habit of getting turned down. So, (raises his glass) here’s to good fun, good people, and getting turned down on a regular basis.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Felix, this guy reminds me of that 80's Dire straights video for 'money for nothing'...not in terms of composition, but in style. Great job, you hipster dufus, and Happy new year. -Keith 'That ain't workin' (20 years ago, 26-Dec-04, to lugnet.build)
