@larue thanks! Yes I would say he is one of my biggest influences! I've recently been buying books that were written and illustrated by Blake, they're wonderful!

I retired Jan 1st and am trying to reclaim the few art skills I had before this fall when I got snowed under with retirement preparations. I sooooo wish I had learned art skills as a kid — the things you learn as a child seem to stick in your head forever but the things you learn as an adult need to be relearned every time you take a break from it. Anyway, here is a bunny and fox I painted for a potential story.

@jessicalinnevans When I was a kid, my Dad built our house and never put tiles on my bedroom ceiling so I drew maps from my favorite books on each 4x8 sheet of ceiling drywall. I could lie in bed and look at the maps on my ceiling and see all of the fantasy lands I loved to read about. Maps are so much fun and yours is really beautifully done.

@kylebeaudette Have you read his book, “Words and Pictures?” He talks about his art and storytelling — its a great book.

@demotlj That sounds amazing! What a fantastic idea! Clearly, you were artistic from a youth.

[JessicaLinnEvans]

@demotlj These characters are adorable! I'm a sucker for a good fox character.

@lizardillo bananas and oranges, just a healthy treat!

@kylebeaudette love the elephant one. Reminds me of Steed or pants pants comics humor.

[Jeremiahbrown]

Not children's book art (for a graphic novel a friend is writing) and there is a swimsuit (if anyone is offended let me know and remove this) but I especially had an absolute blast designing the tattoos and wanted to share.

@jessicalinnevans looks awesome. I’m a total sucker for maps
