dear elijah,

your mama is still horrified by the idea of putting her hand into a beheaded and skinned dead bird. so there will be no turkey dinner for you this year.

as a compromise, your mama asked santa to give her a super power to make ‘maximum team power duck headgear’ free hand. she had been thinking about how to make this headgear since you were still in her body. in her mind, ‘beheaded’ and ‘bird’ parts are all covered. so it’s basically the same thing.

i hope this headgear will keep your head warm all winter and you find it somewhat festive. it’s a festivus for the rest of us.

best wishes,

yuka-mama

i have no idea what this is.
in japanese, “creation　(創造)” and “imagination　(想像)” are pronounced the same way: “souzou”.

i like this, so maybe i’ll show it at my spring show in saskatoon.

i drew this around new year’s day. this was my first drawing for 2007.

this drawing’s art recipe 1
this drawing’s art recipe 2

you never know what’ll happen on a sheet of paper when you’re drawing…

i just keep adding more until my heart’s content.
