aaaawwwww. keep them coming, chewy. the background alone is worth the price of admission, not to mention the whole critter family.

I love the personalities these creatures imbue - I think that is a hard thing to do - give personalities to drawings....

Shrinky said...

I can only agree with all of the above, each and every one of them have their own unique personality. This series is fresh and alive, the colours are exciting and I simply love they all have their hearts on display!

I love your critters!
Chuck was wondering if you are going to do a dragon?

These are really growing on me...I love the use of the cool colors exuding warth and summer days to come.

John G.
They are my precious critters.

kj,
The backgrounds are nice, but they come alive with critters on them.

Jeanne,
animal-alities. (giggle) I tried drawing one on paper without the background and couldn't do it. The background patterns and lines hides them for me to find.

Shrinky,
Yup, all have a heart-on. (giggle)

Ms Creek,
I find them where they hide. (smile)

Jo,
A dragon? Maybe.

LilliGirl,
The warm weather is bring them out of hiding... just this morning I saw a toad... hmm... a toad!

San,
Aw, I bet you say that to all the rats. (elbow nudge)
