The three sky dragons guarding the Moon, the Stars and the Sun, respectively. I've been wanting to post this for ages... Well, better late than never! An Xmas gift in 2005 for my father. It had to be removed from its frame in order to be photographed; now it's back on the wall. Since we celebrate Xmas as the rebirth of the Sun (as pre-Christian cultures did), of course the pic is centered on the Sun-dragon.

Silver, white & gold Faber-Castells on black paper.

It's very interesting to see how your style feels so different when the values are inverted. I like the effect very, very much!Working with light colors on black is definitely loads of fun, it opens up a whole new range of possibilities!
