The Majestic Goat

2012 is coming. It'll be the Year of the Dragon come Chinese New Year 2012. For me... the dragon is like a Majestic Goat. It'll be like the coming of age of a Goat to a Dragon in full bloom... well that's what I'd like to think. Anyway... I like the drawing of this Dragon... see this first image...
