Just for fun—and speaking of animal characters—here's a little sketch I did for the first annual coffee mug design contest sponsored by our local art house, Upstate Films. It won!

Awesome picture. Have you ever tried printmaking? It looks like it would make an awesome litho print.
When I say tried, I mean 'worked with' printmaking. Ha. Sorry.
Thanks, Michael. I haven't tried litho or silkscreen, but have done a bit of etching and aquatint. Loved it and would enjoy trying it again someday.
Everyone should check out Michael's blog "Rambo vs. the Easter Bunny," with his comic "Random Fuzz" and a cool praying mantis-like insectoid drawing.
thanks for the advertisement! Glad you enjoyed the insectoid drawing. Hopefully a working website will be up soon for the comic.
Aww cute. It would look nice on a tee as well.
