A Bolt of Graphic Wit in a Classic Frame
Created for the 27th day of Inktober 2018, this illustration takes the prompt 'Thunder' and filters it through a lens of surreal humor.

By placing a supernatural concept within a classic frame, STML highlights the beauty of simplicity while maintaining a sense of dynamic movement.
