(2010) As with many of my arts, this was the result of a mental image that wouldn't leave me alone until drawn.

As the name suggests, it contains elements of a political statement; because the world is a wonderfully diverse place, it's supposed to be, as such diversity makes things more beautiful and intricate and stable and special, and deserves to be celebrated.

Apart from that, this picture is also just about 'rainbow stripey pawsocks are awesome and cute and snuggly and comfy and that's all that matters.'

Personally, I find clothing and accessories like stripey pawsocks, collars, pride rings, leather tail sleeves, and little LED tailspade running lights to be particularly cute on quadrupeds, maybe in part because we don't 'need' them in the strictest sense. This seems like the festive sort of way I might appear at a convention or furmeet, were I able to do so as my dragon self.
