Careful, she can kick your ass.

My contribution to a "blue" portfolio.

Alien Turkey

While traipsing the forested paths on Boroonga 7, you may come across the colorful local fowl known by Earthlings as the Alien Turkey. If one catches your eye, it will stare at you in disdain, daring you to stare back. DO NOT do so, for they have powerful hypnotic powers, and before long, you'll be picking multicolored grubs out of the underbrush and getting snood slime all over your hands, feeding the clever turkey.

Tourists beware!

Annoyed

The dragon is Annoyed. At what, I'm not sure.

Media: Crayon and ink on board.

Baardvark

The Baardvark: poet, musician, and entertainer of royalty and peasantry alike. Works for termites.

Baseball Squid

Baseball Squid lived for the crack of the bat. He loved the sensation of soaring through the air and the roar of the crowd when he was a homerun. But despite his happiness, he was never quite content. He always wanted to be the one to hit a homerun. He found a baseball keychain, started practicing, and went up to the plate to show them he could hit one out of the park.

Bashful Gentleman

Aww, he's blushing!

Ink and colored pencil on paper

Bluevark

The bluevark sat patiently, waiting for someone to give him a hug. He needed one desperately. He just lost his job and his girlfriend left him. Aardvarks don't usually go to therapy, so he thought he'd sit by the pretty flower until someone noticed how blue he was.

Media: Mixed (gouache, colored pencil, ink) on Claybord

Breezy Badger

More Ubuntu art. Wheee! This is release 3 of 7.

Bugsy Hornbill

Bugsy Hornbill didn't just patronize the speakeasy, he owned it. He was the type of guy who always had a wink and a smile... *if* he was happy. And if Bugsy wadn't happy, ain't no one was happy.

The reason that art of this genre this doesn't get into hoity-toity galleries is that it'd need some esoteric meaning - like "it represents man's encroachment upon nature and the ensuing distress of the African Ground Hornbill." But really, I just wanted to draw a hornbill in a hat.

Caardvark

Hit me.

Cat Prints I

The cat sits patiently, its head turned towards its owner and staring, thinking, "Why aren't you petting me?"

Media: Ink on Yupo

Cat Prints II

I love how cats curl their tails around their paws when they're cold.

Cephalicide

The game is afoot.

Chiroopractor

A gift for my most excellent chiropractor, who fixed my wrists so I could draw without all the hurting.

11x14" pencil on bristol

CrashOctopus

The CrashOctopus doesn't like his job, but the pay's decent and the benefits are superb. Sure, he gets tossed around the seafloor all day long by cephalopod engineers trying to design a safer ocean transport, but they always pay any resulting hospital bills and give him disability pay. Besides, he doesn't have anything better to do except chase sharks, and if he's going to lose limbs anyway, he'd prefer the method that doesn't involve sharp, pointy teeth.

Cuddlefish

I can't help it. Puns run in my family.

Dapper Drake

Even more Ubuntu art. Halfway there!

5x7" gouache on bristol

Devilvark

The Devilvark is mean and mischevious. Gouache and ink on Claybord.

Edgy Eft

More Ubuntu art. Release 5 of 7.

5x7" gouache on bristol

Feisty Fawn

More Ubuntu Linux art; this is the current release (which I am using).

Football Squid

The Undersea Squidball League is a vast conglomeration of sporting cephalopods. Nearly every sport known to man is represented in the League, and each species of squid tends toward a particular sport. The vampyroteuthis-like football squids are very good at swimming at high speed in tight spirals.

Frog in a Fez

This was my first experiment on Yupo, a drawing surface made of plastic. It doesn't absorb anything, which makes layering tricky. Also, it doesn't handle eraser well. At all. In case you were wondering.

Golfvark

Fore!

Guaardvark

The Guaardvark takes his position seriously - he stands still as can be all day long and never smiles.

Gutsy Gibbon

The upcoming Ubuntu release, due October 2007. This is the last of the nerdy Linux art!

5x7 gouache on bristol

Hoary Hedgehog

The first installment of my Ubuntu Linux art series! They put out new releases every six months, and each one has an alliterative animal name. Hoary Hedgehog was the first release.

Yes, I am very nerdy.

His Majesty the Halfback

It's a little-known fact that His Majesty the Kingaroo was once a star halfback for the local team. His fancy footwork made him a fearful opponent. He could even dribble circles around those agile wallabies.

I like kangaroos. I like soccer. It was inevitable.

Kingaroo

The Kingaroo was a good potentate. He was remembered throughout the ages as the wisest and noblest of rulers, all tendencies towards narcolepsy notwithstanding.
