Curious Raccoon

Raccoon Reaches for Supernova

Curiosity is absolute human nature.  We personify the quality in cats, but our furry house guests are probably just exercising their finely tuned hunting skills.  Curiosity is you and me, human all the way.

Have you ever touched a plate just after the waiter told you it was hot... or smelled something that your trusted friend just reported stinks?

Sometimes I think that I have more of a need to fulfill my curiosity than most of my fellow humans.  I absolutely revel in my need to experience.  Touch, see, and taste whether it's rational or not.

I always eat the decorative flower on my fancy plate, I stomp the balloon because I want the experience, and I CAN.  Destroying in that tiny way makes me feel powerful.

Reach for the supernova because it's beautiful... and full of destruction.

Repeat, Repeat, Repeat, Rinse, Repeat

Just created and ordered 2 new prints...anxiously awaiting their arrival!  

I drew the bear a while ago, and a scan of him was lingering in my prints.  I couldn't figure out what to do to make him a little more interesting.  

My sister is decorating my nephew, Oscar's nursery with woodland creatures.  So, I created this for him.  I used the muted colors of the forest to make my bear a little more interesting.  I love how goofy and sweet this little bear looks.

Perfect decor for a nature inspired nursery.

I also found a little drawing of a Boston terrier I once knew named Roxie.  I had lined her face in pink sharpie, giving the image a very pop art look.  

I took advantage of that "pop" factor, and duplicated the face over and over.  I also used just her nose as an accent.

I ordered both prints in 5X7 and 10X10.   I'm extremely excited to see how they turn out!

Sunglasses Flying Away

Crows are known to love anything shiny, and I imagine their close cousins blue jays feel the same way!  A week ago, someone came into my work to purchase sunglasses because his had been stolen by a bird.  This is how I imagine the scene.

My sunglasses here are made with my photo of the inside of a carrot, paired with sequins, and a Rorschach test.  I drew the little blue jay thief with colored pencils, and placed the entire piece over my photo of a beautiful spring day.
