Your work is so vibrant and lively! It has this feeling of both wild movement and perfect compositional containment simultaneously. It's like the paper can just barely manage to hold your artistic creativity still, but it bears down and holds it there because it MUST show your wonderful work!

I truly enjoy your work here! I think you should capitalize on your preferred style and put out a humorous book about grannies! Also welcome your revelation as an opportunity and a challenge to expand your subject matter and grow perhaps. Anyhow, keep up the great work!

That sounds like a wonderful idea for a book. I am often amazed at how long a bug will hang onto a car as it travels along. We once had a spider stay with us on the outside of the car through a few states! I love this illo...great details and a sweet feeling in the interaction between the driver and the ladybug. Delightful!

Great job with this one. Great color and lots of cool little details. Cool story concept too. I love when I come across a piece and my eye wants to wander. Your illos usually do that for me!!
