It’s been a while since my last post so I thought I’d throw up a sketch of Bigfoot from my sketchbook and submit it to this week’s “Illustration Friday” topic “Opinion”. I’ve been watching shows recently talking about monster topics like “Bigfoot” or “aliens” or “abominable snowman” and my opinion of these have gone back and forth. But, you know what, it really doesn’t matter what my opinion is… either Bigfoot is real or he isn’t, and my opinion doesn’t change that. But I know what is real, this drawing. It’s real.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody. I’m thankful for pencils which allow me to make drawings like these. And I’m thankful for erasers so I can fix my mistakes. And I’m thankful for my scanner and Photoshop so I get my drawing onto the computer. And I’m thankful for Blogger and the internet which allows me to share my beautiful drawings with the whole world!

And I’m thankful for those who don’t take my comments about Bigfoot seriously.

Hello, again. I’ve been trying out different methods of creating an online store, and I have another one here. I’ve created a store at Zazzle.com. I think it has a much better interface than CafePress, and there are much better customizable options for products and store appearance. Plus, there’s no upfront costs on my part, which is a big plus.

Below is a preview of Christmas cards that I’ve created for you to buy. You know you want to. You can access this awesome store here.

Here’s your typical Christmas illustration depicting a mouse stirring yummy hot chocolate with a candy cane. Mmmmm. I think my last several posts have something to do with food.

You can buy this illustration as a card at my new CafePress shop here.

Update: I am submitting this illustration to this week’s Illustration Friday. The theme is “Pretend”. I think it’s pretty obvious that we’re all pretending that a mouse would actually take the time to stir and savor hot chocolate. I think he would just dive right in (after devouring the candy cane).



Below is a detail.
