Thursday Art Walk 251: 1950s Gray

In Which I Made More Art!

This week's prompt was "1950s, Gray", so that's what I've done. I wish I'd had more shades of gray available in my sharpies, but sadly, I only had silver and... gray. There weren't really any tones I could do, so I did my best with the design :)

Dedbert here is posing with his new guitar in front of an artificial (likely aluminum) Christmas tree that's been painted green with silver and gray baubles all over it. The topper is a 1950s Sputnik Star, which, I mean... does that make him a Commie? Oh no!

Actually, I'm surprised that the entirety of the nation didn't rebel against the very idea of Santa during this period. Guy dressed in red, breaking into your home in the middle of the night to distribute possessions gained from who knows where... sounds kinda socialist to me. Or just crazy.

But yeah, That's today's art!

I have been kind of obsessing over the idea of winter far more than the reality this year. I mean, yesterday was pretty nice - light snowfall, temperatures just below freezing, hardly any wind...

But today is brutal.

It's 11℉ (-11℃) and blowing a gale, which means that it feels like it's even colder. According to the internet, it feels like it's -13℉ (-25℃). This is nuts.

This is not what I want from mid-December. I don't even like this in mid-January when it's kinda normal.

December should be just around freezing with nighttime dips into the teens, if it must.

Ugh.

I think I'll just curl up with Dedbert in front of his fake tree and listen to him play guitar.

Come back next week to see what Dedbert got for Christmas!

Go Enjoy Something!
