Happy

Hi, I just had to say how happy I've been made by the recent spike in views.
As a thank you to all those visiting my blog here is a Happy Yellow Monster No. 2 by the always brilliant Gabrielle Rose a.k.a. DrawGabbyDraw;

It reminds me of Doctor Seuss and has inspired me to try drawing some monsters of my own.

Magical Creatures of the Human Persuasion

Today we celebrate the weird and wonderful beasts of the world, those magical beings comprised of both animal and human, from centaur to mermaid and anything else the human imagination is capable of creating. Enjoy!
