Thanks!

Love this!

You've been channeling a little Hieronymus Bosch!

Haha! You really think so? If so it was totally unconscious.
Most of the landscape was drawn as an exercise in automatic drawing. I do that once in a while.
Most of the time it is just that: an exercise. But here I added a sketch of the dancer I found in a box with old documentation. The sketch was more than 30 years old!
The posture of the dancer made me think of a dinosaur so the T-Rex was added. And then it started to look like a ballet performance in a theater. That's why the moon is so big and not a perfect circle ;-)

I love your work.

Nice work, Dirk! I love the playful mood of the drawing.
