An Ode to Sloths

"The Little Sloth's a thing of FUR

and hair that grows in bangs

He hardly moves or shakes or STIRS

on the branch from which he hangs"

So goes the scrawled poem on a page of my college notebook, when I was supposed to be paying attention to art history.  The original scribbled notebook entry was circa 1999, I thought it warranted a brand new illustration with full color treatment.

Elephantine Monstrosities

New Characters and Monsters

The creature at the top is a version of the Baku, a monster from the folklore of Japan and China.  It is a bear-like apparition with a short trunk.  It's thought to be an early explanation of tapirs, which do occur in Malaysia.  In China, it was seen as a guardian against evil spirits.  When it reached Japan, it also gained the ability of gobbling up bad dreams.

New Character Designs

Just a smattering of new character work that I've done recently.   I love drawing reptile forms and textures, and I love pig-based characters and the 1700's!
