There's a classic illustrative quality to your work. It's got depth and well placed contour lines, and even though the background is minimal there's enough going on in the foreground that I still feel like I have enough information to immediately understand what's going on.

Thank you for the kind words! I really did try to convey the emotion of the scene through expression and body language.

Man, I love watercolor & inks! I find the texture of this art work so delightful. It's so detailed, so meticulously shaded, and yet not overdone. So book illustration style; SO BEAUTIFUL! I think your work just officially inspired me out of my art slump!

Oh boy, I am just totally in awe of the way you can capture the characters' expressions with emotions that were never even alluded to in the cartoon. Plus I am in awe of anyone who can successfully use watercolor on bristol.

No problem; I might consider commisioning you for a piece. I fully understand about real life getting in the way, so no worries there.
