I purposely designed this to NOT be a holiday image. It is more a celebration of Winter ... and humor. But I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very merry holiday season and a Happy New Year! Thank you for looking. I hope you enjoy! :)

How could I not enjoy it? "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, pretend to be evil (and with the pine mohawk and providing a perch for the cardinal, he's doing a poor job of convincing us he's evil, the leather jacket and safety pin in his neck notwithstanding)". It's all so well done--clean lines, just the right amount of shadow and light, textures and 3D. Great fun; I love it.

Hey, wait a minute... is Mr. Leather Jacket Guy flipping us off? Giving us the bird? [oD [oD [oD

My only complaint-gripe-grumble-wish is that it would be higher rez so that I could print and frame a copy to hang up every Christmas-Winter. Lisa, there are a number of people here at Caedes who are known specifically for doing a bang-up job in certain areas of artistic endeavor (or, as in my case, running off with the mouth)... you are definitely "Our Lady of the Digital Pen", every bit a match for the missing Vlad.

Kudos! bd bd bd bd (thumbs up!)

Since I am a St. Louis Cardinal fan, The Fonz caught my eye.
Excellent work and I think Knik said it all. He generally does. :)
His words, not mine.
Merry Christmas!

Nik ... Yes. ;) lol

The 4th snowman is making a "very specific " hand gesture ... just as the other 3 are (See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil).

But presented very innocently. A child, for example, could view and enjoy the image as it is, without understanding that there's a more adult, deeper meaning.

These are quadruplets - each one with his own character. Let us assume that they are all men. Starting from left:

No.1 is a bit of a pansy and he has just seen something he just couldn't bear!

No.2 with his ear muffs which are actually earphones - is listening to music and couldn't care what happens around him.

No.3 is a so called gentleman who just uttered a curse word and has shocked himself.

No.4 is a punk and a bit crazy holding the bid to show that he is a Cardinals fan.

Altogether you have here four completely different characters. Nice work.

Merry Christmas to you and family Lisa.

Thank you to everyone who took a few minutes out of their busy lives to leave a comment. I really appreciate it more than I can say!

Although 4 Wise Men is silly in subject, it is serious art that was incredibly difficult to accomplish. Thank you to those of you who recognized that.

I think it is clever, amusing and top notch work.
Makes me smile and delivers a message much better than the three wise monkeys ever did !

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Bruce, you okay? Where did "Lori" come from?

(Points to self) ~>Lisa<~

You know, YOU were the very first person to comment on my very first submission to Caedes, years ago. It meant a lot to me and was the first time that I felt welcomed into the Caedes community.

I have always felt a special bond with you because of that. Don't lose track of who I am now. It would break my heart. :(

Hey, if you're going to be Lori, can I be Thor? It's up to Bruce.

As to your Magnum Opus above, it does kind of sum up the year, doesn't it? My (not unfounded) fear is, that these are the smartest guys in the room.
2017 was an evil clown show from the beginning and 2018 has all the same bad actors. What could go wrong, Lori?

I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet, Thor. I've still got some fight in me and a powerful desire for a better, saner, more evolved world.
