animals
my kids
tell me that I’m better at animals than people.
These are mostly done in response to odd requests or challenges.
three toed
sloth, waiter, roller skates.
His name is Willow.
an elegant
I can’t remember whether the pun was deliberate or an effect of the spellchecker on WhatsApp.
Anyway, one thing led to another as it so often does.
bunny
horse on a bike
again a challenge but this time from someone on instagram I hadn’t previously heard of – Marta Altes
She was good enough to “like” it and comment on it which I thought was kind of her.
giant anteater
unusually without any further brief . . .
the extraction
of toad juice for a magic spell in my first Inktober .
No animals were harmed in the making of this epic.
and fish
too.
It’s a dog eat dog world out there in the briny blue.
this camel
was done for one of Ania’s blog posts entitled Camel Beauty
"these existential conflicts
invariably ended with the aliens vanquishing the poor humans. The latter rendered helpless by giggles and slimy ears.”
a wino-scerors
for my dear chum Jim Lewis
this was
a daughter challenge. He’s called Prof. Squeakistein apparently.
And he’s inventing a humantrap.
i blame
Rudyard Kipling for my late development as a cat lover
although they do
eat stuff they find in dustbins.
Illustrations from one of my poems.
dinos
always seem to get a “cool” tag in everyone’s mind.
This sketch all came together very fast and happily
crocs
fall in love too, you know.
except
the nasty kind – no-one loves them!
another reptile
– this one is a running lizard.
He was actually part of a bigger picture – but then isn’t everything?
. . . my
missus
on a morning run.
The lizard wasn’t invited on the run – in fact he was trying to leave the party.
dancing
in the rain
or
bungee-jumping!
I can't remember
who asked me to draw a horse in a hammock.
Does it matter?
flies dancing
to the sound of a trumpeting elephant.
Apparently the word “trumpeting” is ambiguous when applied to elephants.
duolingo
deliberately gives us silly phrases to help us to remember them.
In this case,
“duży pies słucha małego mężczyzny”
my daughter
told me that stegosaurus’ plates would change colour when they get excited.
I have no idea how “they” know that!
not
the “Silver Surfer” but more of a “Silverback Skateboarder”
whereas
this is a surfer parrot dude – and more multicoloured.
Also singing “Coo coo ca choo” as suggested by an instragram colleague.
duolingo again
with
“nasza ryba nosi koszulę”
and this
is an animated avocado
