A little fun with pen & ink.

Being coy

ink & gouache

It seems as though one of the little fishies from the drawing from last week survived to swim another day. I'm glad the boy didn't make a Rainbow Roll out her.

Fishing from a bridge

pastel & ink

After drawing Japanese-themed art all day, I had to have some sushi for dinner. It was delicious. The child fishing from the bridge may not be so lucky. Maybe that's why he looks perturbed.

IF: Fleeting

pastel, ink, & gouache

IF: Poise

Here is a sneak peek at the first of many illustrations for a new children's book that I am currently working on. This little bug is poised to run away as fast as he can after being discovered in the rug.

The Suspicious Barnyard Animal series

Like so much of what I draw, I drew the Suspicious Barnyard Animal (SBA) series primarily for my amusement. I hope it will amuse you, too, and perhaps provide you with an opportunity to ask yourself some deep, philosophical questions about life and art.

Here are some sample questions, if you are having a hard time getting started:

• What causes a barnyard animal to be suspicious?
• How can I tell whether a barnyard animal is in a state of suspicion?
  
• Is this series really a metaphor for something else?
  
• Where did those mushrooms come from?
• Why is food falling out of the sky?
• When is Laura going to draw more SBAs?
