Winter leaf / swipe➡ ️??Think about it, I drew this picture on top of my previous picture, which I did in June… I don't know if this is respect for creativity or a complete change of the owner. One dirt will cover another, do not pull the katana in vain (with) Lao Ji ??Did this one over my pre­vi­ous draw­ing i did back in June, can you imag­ine this? I won­der if it is a respect for my worj or a per­fect dzen of this truck owner?
