Watusi And The Emerald Serpent Back-Cover

This is an illustration I drew for one of the back-covers in a new mini-comic collection by Dale Martin, available for purchase here. In the story-line the dog Watusi discovers that he inherited an emerald mine. This gave me an idea to reference the great cartoonist Carl Barks. I must say I had a ball drawing this for Dale–it’s always a treat to draw Watusi whenever I get the chance. [Note: This post is backdated. Image was posted on this blog 03-01-18.]

Snowball Fight

White was the color prompt for this week’s Colour Collective challenge. Everybody loves making snow-people during the winter months, but I got to thinking it might be cool to make some cats and dogs as well. (Nobody said they had to get along though.)

Some sneaky folks organized behind the scenes for artists to draw a polar bear as an extra challenge to thank Penny Neville Lee who started Colour Collective earlier in the year. This is my polar bear that I posted a half hour before I posted my main cat & dog post above.  [Note: This post is backdated to the twitter post date. Added to blog 03-01-18.]
