Is it possible to draw flamingos, and not have the result look like a souvenir t-shirt, from Anybeachtown USA? I tried, and I think my friend Magicka Mike will appreciate the outcome.

Old World Monkeys
Drills.
Like Mandrills, but gray with black faces. Their chunk of rainforest has broken from earth, and floats gently off to another plane of existence. Maybe they’ll make a new planet somewhere. Maybe not. Maybe they’ll just enjoy the flowers and the warm pink sun for an eternity or two.

Daring to Have Days Off!!!
How dare you?!? Or I rather.
It’s a sad but true fact, that work spoils my creative energy. I’m not saying that all work would do this. I think that certain kinds of work, let’s say….anything but food service, would be better. But I won’t pretend that I work oh so many hours, and I [...]

Hand-Colored Paper Prints?
So what do you think? A unique hand-colored background of pattern with a Lino-cut one color print on top. Does that sound appealing? I kinda think it would be cool. It would mean a lot of pattern rendering and hand work. But I like that sort of thing anyway.
This is kinda the idea, but it [...]
