Description
My painting done in the nick of time for Hanukkah 2018.
Reminder: I'm not Jewish but interested in Jewish culture, also in their traditions, especially Hanukkah which falls around Christmas time, is pretty beautiful and is problably the most famous Jewish holiday for "Goys" like me.

As you can see, I chose Kyle Brovloski and his family from the cartoon "South Park" as a motif.
You see Kyle himself, his cousin (also named Kyle) and adopted baby brother Ike playing a game of Dreidel while Kyle's parents happily watch.

What I tried to do here is not only a small tribute to Hanukkah and South Park, not only to practice some inking again, but also to create a cozy, glowing, peaceful atmosphere while having a not-so-perfect family tradition going on here (you know, Cousin Kyle is anything but popular with the kids of South Park and especially Kyle Brovlofski suffers from his cousin's issues, stereotyped behaviour and his tale-telling towards the strict mom whenever there's even a harmless conflict).

And I chose to try out black and blue ink together. I'm aware that blue is not a warm colour but since a lot of Hanukkah decorations and symbols appear blue, I chose to use it here, too.

Well, I hope you like it and to all the Jewish artists here I wish a very happy festival of lights!

Done with black and blue Indian ink.
