Bloomin Beard

We are having unexpectedly balmy weather here in Baltimore. Some flowers are even popping their heads sheepishly out of the ground and deciding to bloom. All this lovely weather made my brain think of shoots and leaves and while I was thinking of an illustration for theme of Botanical for the 52-Week Illustration Challenge this flowery bearded man popped into my head and I thought, why not? He does look like every hipster in skinny jeans around but he also has that Pan Greek mythology look too.

Flamingo Kiss

Inspired by Valentine's Day I painted these sassy Flamingos doing a dance that might just be the Electric Boogaloo while gearing up to give eachother a smackaroo. Have a smashing Valentine's Day whatever you get up to.

Then I was inspired by the experiences of a London friend...... he has a wild fox in the neighborhood who sometimes sleeps on his sofa... can't help wondering.... what's the fox's story and why isn't he scared of humans? So I drew this illustration.
