Love Wanter

This is Bert.
I met him in a small patch of grass surrounded by asphalts.
He is so blue and smooth. If you find his smooth furs attractive
You can reach out to him and pet him.
All he is looking for is extra pieces of love that you might otherwise throw away.
That is what he lives for.
In a way, he is a superstarl.

Oh, Bert.....

Easter is a time for Labbits

Today is a Good Friday, and so Easter is coming soon. Easter is a good time for drawing labbits because they easily hope into your imagination. I didn't mean or plan to draw these labbits, but they accidentally came onto the paper while I was painting. The one of many labbits...was just a big blue shape at first....and then I saw the labbits hiding in it...and drew their outline with a pen. They thanked me, because it is a difficult life to be a creature with ambiguous shape.


LABBITS


UNHAPPY JACOB is also an Easter Labbit. Do you remember him?

Searching

This is Pierre. He is from Leon, France but he is living in the United States.
When he left home, he had ideas. He had things he was searching for.
But now, sometimes, he can't remember what they are, or maybe he remembers, but they don't seem so important anymore.

Do you have to know what you are looking for to find it?

Transgendered Lion's Regret

Merry Chirstmas, everybody. I hope you are enjoying some fried chicken and Christmas Cake with your family.

I spent part of Christmas Eve drawing lions. What if you were born a king but that isn't what you wanted? What if you had to live your entire life doing a king's job, like hunting for foxes and other kingly things? It would be sad to have to live a life like that. I hope this lion's wish comes true on Christmas.

I wanted to draw this lion on two different types of paper to compare the difference. I used mostly the same colors of acrylic ink to paint him. The lion on the left (lefty) is painted on cold press water color paper, and the lion on the right (Jean-Bobo) is painted on Rives Print Making Paper. The water color paper doesn't absorb as much so the colors might seem brighter. The print making paper gives the lion a different texture.
I decided to frame Lefty the Lion, and here is how he looks. Jean-Bobo says he prefers to live outside of a frame. Lefty the Lion will be a Christmas present for a good friend I have met here in America.
