As you probably know by now, I love to inject a little or snark into many of the pieces I create. I would describe this piece as snarky + mixed media–thus snixed media.

Okay, maybe snixed media shouldn’t be a “thing”. Regardless, did you notice the shady character waiting inside they doorway?

If you look closely, you can also see turn-of-the-century vehicles traveling along the street.

Thanks for stopping by to see my piece. If you are in a part of the U.S. experiencing sub-zero temps, I hope you stay warm and enjoy some creative time.
