did not expect to run into a massive noel sickles original drawing this morning, and only had enough time to do a few double takes, but @thebeguiling.bsky.social now has a massive noel sickles original drawing up above the register and i'll have to clear out a whole day sometime to ogle it properly

the original is at least three times bigger than this; it's not for ants
