Fish Surprise!
When I started doodling at the Vintage this evening, I wasn’t thinking about fish, I was thinking about my nephew Conner who turned three years old on Friday, and how quickly the year has past. I wasn’t thinking about fish, but that’s what I ended up with.
Funny how that happens.
Not at all happy with the fish surprise, and being determined as I tend to be, a trait I expect my nephew will inherit from my brother, I kept at it. After some gnashing of teeth, flexing of claws, and a little wine, I took a request from Charlie who wanted me to draw her a Where The Wild Things Are sort of creature.
Here’s the sketch, my loose and hopefully cuddly interpretation of a wild thing. I’ll paint it up some time soon. Special thanks to Maurice Sendak for breaking the mold.
