China shop

OK, this was my idea, but my son Alex gets the credit for coming up with the bull. We actually brainstormed a number of things at the breakfast table for one or two days, and I eventually settled on what you see. This is another one of those drawings where I didn't appreciate the true magnitude of the tedium until I started drawing all of those cups and bowls and teakettles. I originally had plans to apply various designs to each item in varying colors, but, fortunately, my grip on reality returned. A very labor-intensive drawing. Photoshop eventually lent me great assistance; I don't feel I have to prove anything by drawing the same damned plate 32 times.
