About
I draw animals. And then make them better by adding top hats. What animals would you like to make better?
Imguraffe!
I just realized I never posted this and probably should have. Having asserted myself as a dapper animal specialist, I did this sketch in honor of imgur’s April Fool’s joke —(http://imgur.com/blog/2012/03/31/introducing-the-imguraffe) —that sorta backfired as a joke given how popular the idea of an imguraffe became. So here was the sketch that I created. I would loooooooove to see this become their actual mascot so….. *finger’s crossed*
Just got my first custom card request!
I actually REALLY like how these look. I think I will do more of them (with the option of substituting a different festive hat in place of the top hat). So if you want a custom card (with your own message inside), give me a shout! $5 per card with discounted rates for bulk orders!

I don’t normally post sketches to this blog (and this is VERY much a sketch, ha) but I haven’t updated in a while…. and it’s May 4th, so… I had 20 minutes of my lunch break left today which was just enough time to do this. I hope you enjoy. Maybe I’ll actually take some time and finish this concept :)

I have yet to post post anything that wasn’t my art to my tumblr, however, today I make an exception. How could I not reblog these AWESOMELY AMAZING fan cookies made by travelbyfoldingamap. I am in love with them!
Jolly good! :D
Yesterday, robotkritten sent me an amazing drawing by affableanimals of a Narwhal with a top hat and a monocle. So today at work I decided to make cookies of them, because like I said, what is better to cheer myself up than a narwhal with a monocle.
