Favorite Subject Matter
Anyone who's paid any kind of attention to my art must have noticed that humans aren't a high priority for me. I prefer to create my own version of people with animals.
I think this preference comes from a childhood of Saturday mornings watching Looney Tunes and rainy afternoons devouring Calvin and Hobbes. Mostly my animals are in everyday situations..
But every now and again, I like to have them doing something wacky (like my ducks).
My brain just seems to know where lines should go. I guess I feel less confined when I create animals because I think they're a little more open to interpretation. If a viewer can't tell when I've drawn a person, then where does that leave me?

I don't have to analyze and figure out how to depict a bear fishing for lunch, or a squirrel taking a nap...

Hey Dee, I don't totally agree with humans, not leaving room for interpretation when to be drawn. I think as long as you go far enough away from perfect, perfect isn't expected. However, you don't have to force yourself to draw something you don't like, so have fun with the animals! =) I love the pigs, cute :-)
beautiful - love your sleepingsquirrel.
