Illustration Friday: Cracked

This is my take for Illustration Friday’s word, “Cracked.” Goldfish always look so relaxed and trusting considering the sad fate these poor creatures often face. 

When I was little, I threw a toy pistol through our ten gallon aquarium. How was I to know it would break? Mom and Dad must have had patience of steel that day.

Illustration Friday: Instinct


CIG Bird Care and Training Part 4
Originally uploaded by speartoons

Part 4 opener for "The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Bird Care and training."

This is a book I illustrated about ten years ago. When I heard the word for this week, I thought of the many times we try to train instinct out of animals. That’s good when the dog piddles on the carpet. I’m guessing it’s good to teach a parrot the theory of relativity too.

I drew this illustration in Adobe Illustrator. The wig for the bird cost extra, but was worth it.
