It's National Bow Tie Day!

In honor of National Bow Tie Day I am posting the beginnings of a series of Illustrations. These are more of my Parade of Bow Ties. Each one created will be related to a specific location or type of animal. This is the start of my Vermont Parade of Bow Ties. It involves real or mythical creatures and things that relate to the great state of Vermont. This is something that is coming along slowly when I am not busy with other things.

Seen in the image: Beluga Whale, Rabbit, Loon, Moose, Chipmunk, Blue Heron, Hermit Thrush, Llama, Enfeild, Snowman, Ent, Raccoon.

Bow Tie Guy of the Day: Chipmunk

Chipmunk (ˈCHipˌməNGk)

This one is for my daughter. She asked that I draw a chipmunk a while ago.  They are found throughout North America and they are plentiful in Vermont. I have spent some time drawing these in the past so this one came a little easier. I was also able to play with it being more than just walking like the other bow tie guys.

As I have recently taken up skiing, I signed up to be a chaperon for my daughters school on ski days. Last week while resting at the end of the day, I drew a few individuals eating in the lodge at Burke Mountain. I had previously drawing the chipmunk.
