I love this — and being a Rat who’s just weathered my zodiacal year (never a good thing but 2020 was over the top), I’m ready to get behind the Ox and work!

I love everything about it except the human eyes and mouth. It gives it a creepy effect to me, but then I play a lot of video games and read and write dark fiction/fantasy. So maybe other people don’t throw their minds into a forlorn well as often as I do. 🙂

That is the coolest Ox I’ve ever seen. If I could give a print of it to my wife on her birthday I know she would be thrilled.
