New Artwork: Drawing and the Incorporation of Animals

Well, it's not too much to look at right now, but the drawing is definitely a "work-in-progress" that I hope will culminate successfully. Why does this pertain to sustainability, environmental concern, and other related topics? The significant meaning lies within the context; the old goat my hand is resting upon is a recurring theme in my artwork; my modus operandi usually focuses on self-portraiture and a fictional setting that oftentimes includes representative animals that stand in for allegorical messages. The background of these figures will be adjunct to a corrosive metal shed, a building that actually exists on my leisure farm (I will try to find pictures of this monstrosity). It was there before my family arrived and it is a quintessential monument to the filthy habits and crass ways of rural Kentucky natives (yes, I am being deliberately offensive); it was filled with miscellaneous objects that had been stuffed inside this hideous structure; cars, laundry machines, and other large items too large to consider worth making a genuine effort to dispose were casually pushed down a ravine.
