The old man with bees take deux

I always wanted to play around with this illustration some more. I still enjoy the old one as much as the new one. The new one with the green background has a fresh feel to it. Enjoy!

Break in the Bay

Andrew and I took our good friend Evan home with us for thanksgiving break. We showed him our freezing home and took him to all the local spots. Heres some snapshots of our weekend:

He saw it, he loved it, he ate it

A life lesson:

“Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.”

Confused reality

My art has recently come to a stand still. So in that case, enjoy some confused pastries that want to be drawings.
