Here’s a leaping frog full of color and maybe a little nonsense. He is painted in watercolor and drawn with a crow-quill pen. I have colored and added a stylized text to match his personality.
Frogs are a subject of fun, ridicule, and story-telling. Have fun with this. You may need one in your collection.
Here’s the link to purchase.
I’ve seen lots of deer in the forest because I lived in the northwest for a long time. How can you describe them except to say they are very sweet and can win you over. Although I remember many mornings shaking a string of empty soda cans at them to make as much noise as I could to chase them away from my flowers and plants. They always won and grabbed some nibbles before they fled.
Or when driving down a main street, a mom with her twins would come out of the woods suddenly and very slowly cross the street. They understood traffic and I swear they knew stop signs. The only really dangerous part is when they would try to cross a main highway from the woods to get to the cool riverbank. All you could do is slow down and pray they make it.

Who does not like a baby goat? They are like wise old men turned into babies, or maybe the other way around? This is a little sketch from one of my many sketch books. This one was done in quick pen with a few watercolor washes.
I am playing with matching fonts to my art. I am very fond of this font, which is called “stroke dimension”. Maybe a 4H kid out there would like this. Here’s the store to get a t-shirt for a kid.
Chickens are all about color and attitude. After all, who has more feathers? Maybe a peacock. Peacocks are fancy and exotic. Chickens are commonly seen everywhere, in every place on the globe. That does not mean they are common animals.
To me, anybody that only has two legs and can’t fly high or far, and who needs their wits about them to survive deserves some kudos for living so long. I designed this artwork as a ceramic tile, hoping someday I could see it on a tile. This may never happen but I think none-the-less it should be in somebody’s kitchen. Make sure you check out the little hard boiled eggs in the borders.
Right now, this image is available on lots of neat stuff here. Check it out por favor.
A Big cat and little cat are having a love conversation. The big cat has camouflage artwork on his body and the little cat is making big body language. Who is talking to who? Who loves who? It could go either way, so have fun with this.
Since I seem to be in my retro mood for the past few weeks, this was a small sketch in one of my many sketchbooks. I always refer to my sketchbooks, whether the sketches are good or not. The important thing is that you get the information down. Usually, the first sketch is the best one because that carries the message across in the strongest and most immediate way. You can always tweet the drawing a little bit and get it to fit into what you want now. This drawing was a little different because I kept it very raw and did not polish it up at all.
I scanned it and made sure I put it on a large white background leaving a lot of space to make room for a big text area. I just made a mask and gave it a transparent background and then painted the cats some and with the direct selection tool, filled areas with different shades of black, greys and whites. I know there are artifacts all over the place but I am moving ahead and will repair the image later. I hope this does not bother people too much.
