Description
On January 25, 2020, the Year of the Rat begins and according to the Chinese zodiac the element will be metal.Although I already decided to do my annual traditional Chinese inspired drawing I really had to make this one as well. Because, why the hell not?!?!
I just couldn't resist the call of this little Metal Rat.
Fuelled by his rodent rage he shreds on his cheddar guitar hardcore Trash Metal tunes between the bins together with his band "DEATH OF RATS", ushering in the New Year with his primal squeak.
I wish you all a Metal New Year!

This is without a doubt my favorite thing you've ever done! You've struck every possible chord - my roots metal soul is bleeding out of sheer pleasure right now! Can you put this on RedBubble?

Your comment actually made my heart skip of joy!
I had no idea you love metal so much and my image of you has shifted a bit, but in the best way possible!
And now to once again confirm how out of touch I can be: how does RedBubble work? I knew of its existence and I've visited the site to check it out but it's unclear to me what to do. Even though I put my drawings here on DA (and therefore on the World Wide Web ) I'm a bit apprehensive to submit this to an online marketplace. I still have to look in to this.
Just out of curiosity: what would you prefer to see my Metal Rat printed on?

The T-shirt, of course. But I'm really a big fan of the zipper pouch. They are great for plane rides, for cosmetics, cords, keys, and post card buying trips!
I know it's owned by Amazon (like most things these days) and that they take up to 50 percent. The better artists seem to like it and do really well with it as a side job! You're better than 90% of what I've seen on that site so you'll clean up
So I would read their FAQ and then decide what you want to do.

Thank you for the information and the link. I will definitely look into that and I'll keep you posted on any decision I'll make. Metal Rat on a T-shirt does indeed sound very appealing!
Your comment about the 90% makes me think "nah, surely not" as well as "Oh my, thank you" Much appreciated.

So, we finally transitioned into the Metal Element version of our Chinese Zodiac, did we?
My Dad actually is a Metal Rat: maybe 2020 will be a good year for him.
I will have to wait until 2029 for my year because I'm a Metal Cock.

Yep, it's a very Metal New Year.
Not sure if I should take the bait and react seriously but I will do it anyway: sadly for you the year 2029 will be Earth, not Metal. I hope the disappointment is bearable.
