I'm on a bus

More specifically, my art was chosen by the fine folks at the Tom Tom Festival, and by my slavish social media followers, to adorn the side of the #2 bus, which goes to Wegman's.

Possibly my entry was the only one driven by spite, as I have been wanting to draw me some feathered dinosaurs ever since Jurassic World made a debacle of anatomy and science on the big screen and no one else cared quite as much as I did.

So now you can see that Velociraptor was a fluffy, knee-high predator, Stegosaurus held its tail far above your puny head, and Spinosaurus had stumpy little legs like a toddler crocodile.  Also, Protoceratops looked like a pig, and was probably delicious.

Here's the press release, written up by my studio-mate Madeleine Rhondeau.

Safari

This is a piece I did a while back that I haven't gotten around to coloring yet.  I particularly like the water buffalo's dot eyes.

A year of animals

For Christmas, I made my family calendars. Given that my family is made of pet owners, vegetarians, biologists, and oceanographers, I created animal-themed calendars. One for every month. In time for...mid-February, here are all twelve images, in order.January. At least someone got snow.

February: the month where everyone wants to sleep in.
March: the month that, like it or not, everyone associates with the color green because of Irish fairies.
April is rainy. I ripped this off of Peter de Seve. No one does animals better.
May: Oh yes, my family also avidly gardens.
June: Everyone travels to somewhere else on vacation, and annoys the people who live there and aren't on vacation.
July: a cat and an Indian elephant for the Indian guy who likes cats.
August: the dog days of summer. The terrified days of fish.
September: some people like ants. Ants are hard to draw.
October: putting on fat for the winter.
November is fun, even for vegetarians.

December: it's very cold and dark, and it makes people sing.

Zoo Loggy

Went to the zoo today. Really really crowded. Glad I didn't go on Saturday.

A horse is a horse, of coarse, of coarse.
