You may or may not be aware of the things my co-worker and I do to wile away those long government department hours. Well, we used to be able to get away with it but not anymore which is why this is the last one of these MSPaintings.
Please... have a look. Each element in this drawing is based on a song title or lyric. For example... one which no one who hasn't already seen the original painting... the horse in the bottom right corner is a "Doom Pony" (Lucid 3).
A lot of bands are represented.. including a relatively healthy NZ quota
