Raccoons...

More camping tales from Kohler-Andrae State park. The raccoons were everywhere. This guy hopped up on our picnic table, just 8 feet away from us, and stole our container of coleslaw. About a half hour later a group of six of them raided our neighbor's campsite. They were drunk and had passed out about an hour earlier.

I did this one kind of in the style of Dave McKean. He's the illustrator for the kid's book, The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Gold Fish, written by Neil Gaiman. He's the guy who wrote The Sandman. The book is really weird, but the art and and story telling is amazing. A great mix of comic book style, kid's picture book, and something else unknown to me. This is an excerpt from the book. I highly recommend it.


Here are a few prints from my printmaking class I finished this summer. The first is an intaglio followed by a lithography. Later, I'll scan the screen prints and post those.

Raccoon...

I saw the raccoon at night time and was going for more of the night time look, but didn't quite pull it off. Despite that I'm happy with the shading and using ink along with pencil lines.

Raccoon...


Yes, we're catching feral cats, having them spayed or neutered, and keeping them in our backyard. Weird, yes. So, far we've caught one feral cat and no raccoons. Hallelujah.

Before catching feral cats I spent the evening with my wife at a coffee shop drawing. We would name animals and then draw them as stuffed animals. Here drawings are below.
