These are fun to do. I usually work on one before bed at night.

IF Glow

Remember when electricity was so exciting? We stared for hours at the glow of a light bulb. I'm not that old, but I'm sure there were a few that were totally amazed by the simple light bulb.

IF Snow

There's nothing more fun than catching snowflakes.

IF Explore

This is a sketch I did sometime last year and I have planned to do a painting on in the near future. I spent a few hours today rendering in Gimp. I still see a few things that need work before going to the painting stage.  I kinda like it though. A polar bear diver...like he really needs the suit. 

IF Stretch

I think this one is just a stretch of the imagination. Land owners just don't know when to give up!

IF Whiskers

Acrylic on paper

The town: Big Whiskey. The drink: whiskey. Need I say more? Oh yeah, the man had whiskey dipped whiskers and a powerful thirst for more whiskey.

IF Zoom

It looks like past, present and future zoom has caught up with my little woodland friend. I'll give him credit for scoring on the nut, but was it really worth it? And of course he has to share it with the traffic cam....

IF Tree

Ahhh...nothing like a good lynching to bring out the entrepreneurial spirit. The horse is thinking, "When he hits me with that thing, I'm gonna kick his teeth in". I know it's a little disturbing...all my years of watching westerns has had a bad influence on me. 

GET'CHA POPCORN!

IF Haunt

THE BANSHEES ARE COMING! THE BANSHEES ARE COMING!

Screaming banshees hate amateurs. Looks like these guys will be sleeping with one eye open for a while.

IF Sky

"Sky is not for everyone. Seconds after you crack a can of Sky you'd swear you were falling from thirty thousand feet. Just ask Felix." At least that what I heard the gentlemen claim as I was walking down the street.

IF Water

The inspiration for this was "Breezing Up" by Winslow Homer. 

Metal Fish #4

IF Mirror

After prying the acorn from the dead squirrel’s hands, the chipmunk sped off looking for other easy scores. He looked back at the dead squirrel from his rear view mirror, but felt no remorse for what he had done. It was nothing personal.  It was just business. 

IF Crooked

There once was a crooked man that had a crooked house....and he also like to compete in road races...go figure.

IF Burst

Illustration Friday - Mice and Chipmunks can be so mischievous. Watch your back!

IF Imagination

I feel that the mind is a vast and unknown entity where if you can push open the door far enough and listen quietly new shapes will take form.

LOST

Missed the donkey...poor little bunny. I couldn't leave him lost though. See the party in the distance? Of course he could get kidnapped by a troll on the way back....rabbit stew anyone?
