Hayley Down Under

This is a post is one that has been in the works for some time. Hayley, all the way from Australia, contacted me about an illustration of her family.

Her request were: 1. The one son needed to have a superman t-shirt on. Must be HIS "thing." (check) 2. A blue tongued lizard, representative of one of the boy's pets (check) 3. A white owl, because they have one that visits them on ocassion -- are you thinking Harry Potter like me? (check) 4. The whole lot of them under a shady tree (check). You put all that together, plus these friendly faces and what do you get?...




This is what you get.

I think this illustration is now the one that has travel the furthest or any of my drawings. I'm just getting started on another Australia illustrations. I have several other illustrations waiting to be posted. My whittle fingers are wearing out. Don't you feel sorry for me?

BTW - wish me a happy birthday. 51 today - and proud of it.

Happy birthday!!

I'd say something about being over the hill or old farts, but as my mum is in her mid-sixties and can still run me ragged, I'll just hush up.

Have a terrific day, full of whatever sorts of birthday things you like best!
