Merry Christmas 1

2013 Dated in his hand

I made this for my daughter, for Christmas 2013. I don’t remember anything about making it. The planes and targets were just what I was drawing then.

Description

Two warplane silhouettes—a small single-engine fighter at center and a large four-engine bomber at the lower edge—occupy a white paper ground marked with dotted runway lines, a circular pencil arc, target roundels, and two compact discs near the upper margin. Handwritten inscription reading 'Merry Christmas 2013 Allison' runs along the bottom edge.
