Oh, little Ariana. You are going to be making that face a whole bunch more as time goes on. And so will I if I have to draw too many more pages of grass. (I’m kidding, it’s actually kind of a relief to do something loose; it’s just a pain to ink all those blades.)
And hey check it out, kids, if you order a copy of Bite Me! between now and Christmas you get a free drawing inside. If you order the fancy package that already includes a drawing, well! In addition to a drawing of one of the main characters you ALSO will get the complimentary addition of a chicken looking on at them. I know how to bring it.
Today’s Animals for Animals original watercolor fundraiser is a Knitting Hedgehog!
What a sweet little fellow. Maybe he’s knitting a full-body scarf for a weasel friend.
For sale on Etsy!
Today’s Heifer International fundraising painting-for-sale: a Connected Otter!
It’s not a MacBook. It’s a ShellBook! (that’s why it works underwater.) This otter understands that in today’s wired world, being down on the river bottom eating a fish is no excuse for being out of touch.
Behold! Another day, another fundraising critter for Heifer International. These things keep selling immediately! (If you want a good leap on one then I recommended hanging around my Twitter account between 11 and 3 Pacific.)
I love this one so much, guys. Witness ye the Leggy Llama.
Also already sold! I think I’ll start noodging the price up a little bit, since folks seem to be very enthusiastic about both the paintings and the beneficiary.
After I raise $500 I will produce prints so that those of you without much spending money can contribute, too!
Here’s today’s (already sold) painting for my Animals for Animals fundraiser on behalf of Heifer International: a Possessive Raven!
Turn-offs: sharing. Turn-ons: shiny things. This one was pretty fun to do – painting in those crazy oil-spill highlights that ravens have in their feathers. This one was sold for $50, since it took me a bit longer and has lots of colors.
Total raised so far: $130, which is enough to buy a whole llama or goat! Two of my favorite ungulates of all time!
I did a raven because so many people suggested it, so if there’s a critter you’d like to see me depict next, post a comment.
