A little more mouse

Continuing to explore this mouse who I hear is a dance instructor. Maybe he'll teach his elephant friend how to cha cha cha next Sunday! In the meantime, enjoy the day.

Pirate girl sketch

Finally, here is the kid version of the pirate I posted a couple of weeks ago! I'm changing the characters from anthropomorphic animals to kids. The pose is a little stiff here, so I'll probably change it a bit.

Have a great weekend!

Mouse beginnings

This little guy (or gal) started out as a tiny dot on an elephant sketch a few weeks ago. S/he will be the perfect friend (or dance instructor?) for elephant.

Climate Strike- Sept 20-27

I'm re-posting this image because today is the Global Climate Strike #globalclimatestrike  Now is the time to take action on reducing our dependency on fossil fuels and stop letting the people who benefit the most from polluting our world abuse their power. What we do today affects our children's futures.

Me Time/Tea Time

 

My elephant friend is back, taking time for the important stuff. Hope you do too. Happy Sunday!

Pen Pal

I made this sketch for my friend, Dylan.

Piggy or kiddo?

Here is a little pirate piggy character I was going to use for a PB manuscript I'm working on. Feedback from a couple of publishers mentioned that they would prefer all of the characters to be kids instead of animals. So, there you go. Now I'm reworking my sketches to be a variety of diverse, cutie kiddos! I may share a sketch of the human version of this little swash buckler next week.

Happy Friday!

Happy Cat Month!

A little surprise

The elephant is back--this time he's in for a little surprise.
