I made it just in time to post for this week's Illustration Friday challenge "Storm". My guess is it's in light of the storms in the North East - I drew some inspiration from the pictures folks back home have been posting. 

Having some fanciful fun with Mermaid hair and fins.

I decided I wanted to draw some cute little birds today... The cheeky little guy below felt good without color and then I decided I wanted to have a free for all with crazy bird colorings in the badass-skateboarding-parakeet and snarky-parrot - or as my friend Brian referred to him as "mosh-bird" haha (I was totally unaware of this mosh-girl phenomenon but it's hilarious) Thanks Brian Dunnigan for illustrating that so perfectly!

Working out how I want to draw them. The more the merr(maid)ier!

I'm embarking on a new personal project... Destination mermaids.

I try to remind myself every so often that I can draw things realistically... Realistically adorable that is.

Oh so sad.

Sometimes you're just a worried loaf, and there's nothing you can do about it... Except draw how you feel.

My friend Rachel was telling me a little bit about a children's book she'd like to write and of course it had awesome visuals and I had to sketch one.

I wanted to have a go at animating something in 2D. It's just a test, but who knows maybe I'll pick it up again in the future!
