"Christmas Gothic"

computer drawing, 2003

Inspired by Grant Wood's famous painting "American Gothic", this is an attempt to capture the kind of thing snowmen and snowwomen get up to when everyone goes home for dinner.

Like all of us, they just can't resist posing now and again.

By the way, I do not use the term CGI (Computer Generated Graphics) which makes it sound as though the computer does all the work. Which it doesn't. CAD (Computer Assisted Design) may be closer to the truth, but this has come to signify technical or architectural drawing. Perhaps it should be CWT (Complete Waste of Time)?
