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.

Merry Christmas!

#95 of 100 Elephants: Snow Elephant

This began with the question, “how would you make a traditional snowman look like an elephant?”

Happy Holidays

Every Christmas I ask my children what they want on the family Christmas card. This year, one of my daughters asked for a snowman. Honestly, I wasn't too thrilled about that. It is rather a common sight. It wasn't until my oldest son said I should give the snow man a jet-pack that I really got excited about the project. This also matches the Illustration Friday word of the week, “Snow.”

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season. All I would ask is that we each find a way to lift someones spirits. There are many people suffering year round. it doesn't take much to bring a little joy into others lives.
