I was commissioned by 🍉TheJollyMariner🍉 to contribute to their "Railway Series continued" project with an illustration of their OC Haddock battling through the rain! (they specifically asked for the piece to be a variant of my 'Flying Kipper' poster 🙂)

I’ve always really loved the ending of “The Perfect Gift”. While it is always nice to engage in our own traditions and customs, sharing in others’ and allowing them into our lives (no matter how odd they may seem) helps make everything just a little brighter and magical.
