Here’s a sequence of 3 pages done for a children’s illustration course in which we illustrated an Aesop fable.  I did the North Wind and the Sun :)

Meeeee :O

Hopefully I can take a break from these for a while ;)

It’s a sad state of affairs that overprotective/fussy fairy owners make their pet frogs miss out on the chance of playing in the rain because they don’t want them getting wet ;)  Click on the pick for a bigger version!

His eating habits remain… peculiar.  Some might even say unsettling ;)

My hand felt a bit gnarled after modelling for this one.

And it’s surprisingly hard to hold a pointing gesture.  A good reason for people not to jump to conclusions and start pointing fingers willy-nilly ;)

Too many to fit in a barrel, though I did try that

Not a fan of Lady Gaga, but I found her new video strangely interesting, and made a quick painting.

Not intended to really be a likeness, by the way.

Notice what he’s eating :|

Will my next painting contain hands?  I hope so! ;)
