when i grow up...i want to join the circus and take my act on the road.


ladies and gentlemen...introducing the world's strongest teddy bear!

hmmm....this was supposed to be a three parter but i stopped short at two. i was all circused out! i think the funniest thing about these two pieces is the teddy bear's handle bar mustache. im not usually all about the facial hair but i think hes definitely rockin the stache!

hitchhiking on a goldfish

yes....in my world there are goldfish the size of baby whales living under the sea. yes...your eyes do not deceive you ... that is a merbear and he is holding a baby trident ( i think "he stabbed a man in the heart"- anchor man) .

"when i grow up...i want to be a (fill in the blank)."

hmm...so im trying a theme out....its going to be focused around "impossible" occupations...kind of like the things that might come out of a child's mouth as they finish the sentence...

"when i grow up...i want to be a (fill in the blank)."

lets see...kind of like when i grow up i want to be a superhero. i guess the moral of the illustrations is to show kids...nothing is impossible...as this little red head and her teddy bear always finds a way.

okay...now if anyone has any "impossible" occupation suggestions...i would love to hear them. :)

Happy Belated Earth Day

happy belated earth day.

go hug a tree...

growing up

inspired by a little pirate named alyssa

so my family tells me the other day...
"why dont you go back to school to be a dental hygienist or go back to the bank. Your animation degree was just for fun and now its time to get serious. "

interesting... its as if i told them i wanted to be a pirate when i grow up, not sure if that would be better or worse than an artist...and i guess my response to that is...PIRATES UNITE!

one giraffe, two giraffe, three giraffe, FOUR!

can you believe it? FINALLY! its not gracie but a giraffe!!! well...im experimenting with different styles...not sure if im happy with any of them but theres aspects in each giraffe that i do like. maybe i can combine them all to make one SUPER GIRAFFE!

hmm...they kind of look like theyre all in a line up for committing some sort of crime...some horrible crime of cuteness i think.

feeling chubby...

just a doodle...feeling a little chubby these days and in need of some serious physical activity...i guess hula hoops are always an option.

sea otters are the BEST!

so...theres not that many things on earth that are cuter than sea otters holding hands. i saw a video on youtube and i couldnt resist....TA-DAH! and then comes the birth of joels 25th bday card.

love.

love...sigh.
