Hello SquirrelWe are entering my favorite time of year.  SUMMER!!  Congrats to all the graduates this spring.  Specifically to my roommate Shantha, who recieved her PhD in Industrial Engineering.  And also to my brother Logan, who will be graduating from high school at the end of the month.  And while we’re at it:  Good Luck to my sister Hannah, who is leaving for China for an indefinite period of time.  I love you all!

Back to summer,  ah….yes.  Lazing around drinking lemonade…afternoon naps…swimming.  Running around barefoot…  That’s the way I remember it anyway.  More recently, as an artist and more specifically as a caricature artist, my summers are filled with lots of drawings.  Theme parks, county fairs and parties.  I’ll be there.

This particualar piece, which I call Hello Squirrel, was made as an example for a coloring book page.  Of course, once it was finished, I couldn’t resist coloring it myself.
