Illustration Friday: Holiday


Here's a piece with some characterized animals in it...haven't shown those for a while. Our Holiday seemed a little like this scene at times...everything a little on the hectic side. But it was all good in the end and the spirit of it was lovely. My kids weren't greedy and loved their gifts, the food was good, and I got to see my sister and her family for a few hours (they live out of state).

  8. Modroom, the chicks will scatter as they always do. And yes, Garth, the whole idea started with the flying pig.

  16. Hilarious! I love how your animals have as much expression as your people. Lovely colors, and technique. There is so much action going on, I wasn't sure where to look first. Of course the pig caught my eye first. I love pigs!
