Frankly, I get tired of doing cutesy stuff all the time. So every once in a while I do something un-cute (although squirrel itself is a cutie, in a furry I-hope-he-doesn’t-have-rabies way) to shock the lead off my pencil.

As an artist, I’m still very much finding my own style. I don’t think I have a very definite style just yet. Currently my illustrations are a hodgepodge mix (see squirrel above then compare with… I dunno, the Cupcake Bears). That actually might be good for my short attention span as I have a tendency to get bored easily (ADD?). But I’m definitely hoping for a more cohesive style to tie my illustrations together. Let’s see how my illustration work unfolds over the rest of the year. I’ve a couple of projects lined up the next few weeks and I’ve also done some work over the past few months that I’m waiting for permission to upload.

In the meantime, indulge the squirrel as he has his own to do list on my Etsy shop!

More good things to come for this squirrel– notebook, tumbler, and button pin. We just bought a button press to make our own buttons and it’s fantastic! But that’s another blog entry.
