The Wrong Shoes


Joey didn't mean to climb the refrigerator, he just put the wrong shoes on before trying to open it...

Count Hippocula


Hippos look cute and harmless in their chubbiness, but they're actually one of the most aggressive animals in the world! So beware!

Sasha the Snake Houdini

I'm glad I got a chance to draw a snake... As you can see from this drawing and others, I don't really know what to do with my characters' hands, and usually they just end up in pockets. With snakes this problem is elegantly avoided :)
If you have any suggestions and/or references to other hand postures, please let me know. Thanks!

Illustration Friday: Resolve #2

I know it looks like a 5 year old made this drawing. Perhaps it's because I see this issue with a 5 year old's eyes. To me it's very simple: people should not fight. After all, we are smart enough to convey complex thoughts and ideas with words, so why not use this uniquely human attribute to solve problem -- why not talk instead of resorting to weapons and terror?
I know it's not realistic, but as members of my family either have to seek shelter when the alarm sounds or are sent to fight in Gaza a war that they did not ask for, I hope that in 2009 Israelis and Palestinians would resolve to stop fighting and resolve their issues once and for all through the only possible way: talking.

For 2009, just like the past 7 years, Georgie resolved to eat more and exercise less.
