Description
It been quite a long time since I posted any of my more whimsical work here. Production of my Utherworlds novel was taking up so much of my time that I just couldn't get to building on this series. Well, I finally found some time to get back to it and with some funny little characters too.I hope you enjoy it and as always please CHECK OUT THE LARGE VERSION.

this piece really has that magical, kinda mysterious effect you are just attracted to the bright, playful colors and the beautiful details that make up this piece.

Oh, I love this. This just makes me feel happy by looking at it! The characters are very endearing and the colors are gorgeous. It's like a cross between "Where the Wild Things Are" and thew jungles of Neverland. This is fantastic!

This piece is very imaginative and detailed. I love all the natural components of this, like the curling grass, flowers, detail on the butterflies' wings and exotic mushrooms. I love how the critters dotting the image are cleverly 'hidden'. x) It's fun looking at the image and trying to spot all the tiny monsters. Lovely.
