Bachs not dead

I got a comment from Brazil informing about the likeness of a t-shirt suggestion and one of my illustrations, is it just coincidence, plagiarism or friendly influence? This is the planned T-shirt and this is my illustration I suppose I wasn't the first man to use animals in this despicable manner, in art or otherwise

The cone

Went over it a last time last night, thought it was a bit pale, now it's off to Berlin and the Christmas machine With some wash, which make it about time for dinner. More or less finished with the inking, managed to do some last minutes smudging I got careless close to the finishing line It's time for lunch, something very unglamorous I can promise you Made some additional inking, as someone already has mentioned I'm using some pencil on this one, I often do when it comes to some rudimentary symmetry. And it saves a bit on the stomach ache. Making a suggestion to the exhibition the Christmas machine, I'll post the progress in this post. The start had my hand hurting but I'll better hurry up the deadline is soon.
