Mourning Star



“Hallelujah noel be it heaven or hell
The christmas we get we deserve”
Greg Lake-I believe in Father Christmas

9″ x 14″ | Biro on paper
It’s that time again, my annual antidote to the Hallmark season of kitsch platitude-although it’s arguable that this year has been one big antidote and fuck you to good will.
So on this first day of the Winter solstice, as an ode to this annus horribilis, this little biro drawing is a constellation of doom and misfortune, grief and ill omen-a flaming tear in the revolving cosmos, more a star of bedlam than Bethlehem.
Regardless, it remains with me to wish everyone, a most blessed and harmonious Saturnalia. It may be our last.
Sláinte-David
