Worked on some fun sketches all week and I can’t wait to share the finals with you!
The hubby and I took a quick trip to Vegas last week. Although it was mostly a business trip rather than a pleasure trip, we managed to squeeze in a little bit of fun in between our chaotic schedules.
I’ve never been to Vegas in the fall..I hadn’t realized how enchanting this place can be. If you get a chance to go this fall I highly recommend it. The weather seems great this time of the year.
This is pretty much what I saw all of last week..I’m not complaining!!
HAPPY MONDAY!
Hello avid readers of this mosquito invested, semi stagnant, blog. I'm going to attempt to revive this old swamp so stay with me while I get my gumboots on.
This is one many sketches I did prior to beginning the initial roughs for Wendy. I always had a fairly graphic landscape in mind when I began to imagine the world in which Wendy lived in. There is a place I know that actually looks a bit like this - lots of wobbly hills and orange trees of various sizes growing at strange angles. Houses precariously perched on the side of steep hills. It seemed to fit very neatly into Wendy's story and as Wendy is a chicken who has the bigger world in her sights I have her here staring out over the rolling hills in front of her. One small chicken checking out the big world in front of her.
Happy Easter people.

The etymology of the adjective pretty has been investigated reasonably well. Many questions still remain unanswered, but it is the development of the word’s senses rather than its origin that amazes students of language. The root of pretty, which must have sounded approximately like prat, meant “trick.” Judging by the cognates of pretty in Dutch, Low (Northern) German and Old Icelandic, the adjectives derived from this root first meant “sly, crafty, roguish, sportive.” Before us is evidently a slang word that has been current in Northwestern Europe since long ago, a circumstance that can perhaps account for some of the vagaries of its history.
