Illustration Friday: Tattoo


The Union Jack I proudly bear
Emblazoned in my bulldog hair.
A tribute to a fearsome man:
Dear Winston, 'twas your sturdy plan
That broke the chains of tyranny.
How I desire to honor thee.

    Catraven, this bulldog represents the spirit of the British people during the blitz as they would not give up!

    It's just a small homage to Winston Churchill.

I hope you enjoy these little delights.
