Illustration Friday, Polar


Just a little sketch I did of polar opposites, a polar bear riding around on his skateboard. Well, I don't know about opposite, but very strange indeed...

Also, don't forget if you live in the San Fran bay area to go and check out APE this weekend! There will be TONS of cool art and artists there, comic books, small presses, jewelry, shirts, prints, books, etc. I'll be at table #219, way in the back on the left when you enter. Saturday 11-7 and Sunday 11-6, see you there!

Green


I've been using green lots lately. See my previous posts and all the greenery in them. I think green is the new black, not green the color, but green the "action". I can't turn on the tv, radio, computer, without hearing or seeing something about being green. I love green, so green is good! Here is a green Hula Dancer!

Easter and new mini-book


As Easter turns the corner into spring and the cherry blossoms are blooming in full, I am currently finishing the last picture for my new limited edition, hand-made mini-book titled "Thank You Bird". If all goes well, I should be debuting the book at APE in SF in two weeks.

A small book (around 5x7) with a different cover on each one, it is a limited edition (not sure to how many yet, probably around 20 or 30) and is about an old man and his journey through the forest with his friend the raven. A very short book, at around 14 pages, it is mostly black and white with a touch of color towards the end. The image above is page 2.

So check it out at APE, or on my webstore at www.captaintoucan.com in the next couple weeks. Have a good Easter and make sure you find all your eggs so you don't have any tasty surprises in next years hunt!
