Winter manatee wrapped in scarves on snowy background Tapestry

This Winter Manatee was the very very silly result of an autumn spent researching Japanese woodcuts for work. So when I had to think what the allegory of winter looked like, all those portraits of Kannon, Amaterasu, and all those celestial beings wrapped in silk, so statuesque, came to mind. But instead of being wrapped in silk, this manatee is wrapped in scarves. The more, the better. The chunkier, the better. It's cold outside and our good friend the manatee is from tropical waters, winter is definitely not his season. I know what you're thinking: all these serious and iconic inspirations used to draw such silly stuff! What can I say? That's how my mind works.
