I thought I'd plug my stuff here as you all seem to have the right mentality ;)

I do a daily picture blog basically trying to knock out one picture a day to keep myself fresh. Let me know what you think.

I've also just published a childrens book through Lulu. It's aimed at small kids and their parents to read along with making animal noises, examples below:

    your style is very well suited to children's book illustration
    it's simple, and colorful
    i really really like the elephant on the front cover
    and on your blog, i like the bear giving the middle finger.

    Now you're going to have a generation of kids feeding sugar to their cats. :D

    Did you come here for critique or just to "plug your stuff here?"

    I dunno, i find the website to be pretty damn bland (it appears as a tiny rectangle in the middle of a 50% black screen for me). Some of the artwork is nice, but there is hardly any content on there, and that lightbox image viewer drives me mad for some reason. The artwork on display has little of the appeal that your initial post does, the characterfull animals. I am however in a bad mood so that may have been more critical than was needed. :P

    Fantastic, I'd love to do a kids book.
    The cover is great, simple and effective.

    How on earth can you write "_____ likes licking lollies" without feeling a bit wrong?

    Um...not trying to be a jerk, but...how can we critique something that is already published?

    I think quite easily. Just because critiques can't be put to use to the artwork in question, they may be of immesurable benefit to a future project and/or sequel. Though I'm afraid I don't see much sequel potential here........unless......Cat Likes Licking Lollies Again? I don't know about you but I smell best seller. Now I'm going to have a nap, all this creativty has rendered me weak and in need of rest.
