Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (in Danish)

Another Nisse

Nisse, Danish elves

An "Elf on a Shelf," or a Swedish Tomte

It's only fair that I Peanuts'd myself

 My friend Kristen, Peanuts'd

My husband

My friend Alyssa as a Peanuts character 

Two more friends have been Peanuts'd

That Dracula Night drawing got me into the Peanuts characters again.  More to come!

One of my favorite authors has a short story about vampires waiting for Dracula on Dracula Night...it's the vampire version of "The Great Pumpkin."

Sunshine Barry, the disco worm, has a new backup singer...from Aardman studio

Saw a photo of a cute fur-ball like critter from Sweden.

How Quail Lost His Feathers

"How Quail Lost His Feathers"

The above illustrations go with a "why" story that I wrote. Quail begins the story with lots of beautiful feathers on his head. He is so narcissistic that he does not have any friends. Eventually he notices that the other birds do not come around to talk to him anymore, and he wonders what happened to them. A huge storm blows in and Quail worries about the other birds. As Quail looks for the others, many of his feathers are blown off, but he is not worried about his feathers. He only wants to make sure his friends are safe.

ipad Drawing: Baby

This is the puppy of my cousin's herd of dogs.

ipad Drawing: Princess

Quana is a princess of a dog. She bosses her other dog pals around and barks until they get off her pillow. When creating a portrait of Quana, I gave her royal jewels.

ipad Drawing: Pug/Emperor

This drawing is a portrait of my cousin's pug. She asked me to add some sort of clothing on him like the animal portraits in the movie Amelie. Since Bingo is originally from China, I made him into an ancient Chinese emperor.
