A few years ago, I wrote a short, very strange story about two kids as a way to get my creative wiggles out. Most of it is absolute nonsense, but there is one passage that imparts a mental image that I enjoy (for reasons I am afraid to explore).

Anyway, here it is with some spot illustrations I drew today.

(Don’t worry, they survive. As you may know from experience, babies have horrible aim.)

Baguette Tree Commission

I was given a lot of creative freedom on this 14 x 18″ acrylic painting. The clients wanted a weightless, inviting piece featuring a “baguette tree”, a feisty cat, and roses. Everything else was up to me, and once they told me how much they enjoy my crazy creatures, I knew this project would be really fun.
