At first, from the thumbnail, I thought the subject looked like Beetle Bailey. And when I saw the full pix, I thought it looked like Dagwood Bumstead. Who looks like my dad, only my dad is dead. Which is not to say your character looks like he's deceased, although floating in the air might give one that sense of separation from the body. Or maybe astral projection. Which might be interesting and really fun, except it also might scare the bejeebers out of you if suddenly find yourself floating above the bed some night. :^D. OK, it's getting past my bedtime and I'm getting slap happy.
Seriously, mick, I like your "Soar" image a lot. You are skilled with the woodblock carving as well as draftsmanship and humor. Great job!
I did a woodblock too, for "Soar," using some really nasty plywood siding, only a little skill and beginner's tools --- and with about the same subject, only a girl one. First woodblock in decades. Such fun!
Mick, you're the master, & I miss talking with you (since I've been lax in posting art lately). So to make up for it, I have a present for you.
TAG!
You're it!

Have fun!
The wood cut makes a very nice texture. What a fun little guy! By the way, I'm in Talyn's ward in Utah. :)
So much talent! Must be quite heavy to carry around....
