I added a page of my work when my computer died and I was no longer able to post to this page.

The page is:

https://www.deviantart.com/redarmyscreaming

I will post to both pages rather than combine them.

Sorry for any confusion.

Thanks.

To scare destructtifull winds of entropy away, we grant you Apocalyptic New Year tree!

It's delicious toxic fumes will bring happiness and joy to everyone and everything! I checked it. Personally. On myself.

Also, I really like your art style!

The phrase on your title page "Art is Work, it Ain't Free!" is so true that it ought to be tattooed on some people's foreheads, backwards, so they can read it in mirrors.

Thanks for the fave
