Lil’ Easter Bunny

It’s April and Easter is only a few days away so I am starting off the month with a few Easter critters. I had several blob creatures that looked like bunnies and this is one of them. I am working in a sketchbook that is made from a leather cover with Arches Text Wove paperContinue reading “Lil’ Easter Bunny”

People in the Neighborhood #3

Ignatius was an arrogant cat that thought himself far superior to dogs. This series of postcards were inspired by a Lesson in Carla Sonheim’s 2021 Year Long Class.
