It was revealed yesterday, in a chat with my friend Stacey, that I was hungry. So hungry, in fact, that I made a Hungry, Hungry Hippos reference. It was then proposed and decided that I should draw myself as a hippopotamus.
That is the chain of events that led to this illustration. Simple, yet deceptively hungry. Maybe I will do a series of these. Myself as a giraffe. Myself as a duck. Myself as ET. Let me know if you think this is a good idea.
Also, I'm working on a new shirt design. It looks like it may be labor-intensive, so I'll keep you updated on the progress. I also need to do another booksketch. If anyone out there wants to do a booksketch of their own, please do so and submit it!
