Meet Nurkus Aurelious Alonzo Electron Maximilian Shrew...but you can call him Nurk. He's the hero of the project I've been sort of kicking around--the story of a small insectivore, armed only with native shrewy wit, a cheese sandwich, and an extra pair of socks, who travels in his amazing Snailship (really more of a snailboat) through strange lands in search of Adventure. This particular view is a chunk of a larger piece in progress, as Nurk will be looking at the strange denizens of the Land Where Fish Grow On Trees, but I wanted to actually paint him before I got too elaborate. Now, to answer the question that some of you who trust me to be dark and depraved may be asking--why all this cute stuff recently? Well, it's simple. I recently acquired a brother. Named Max. There's 22 years between us, and my parents were VERY surprised. (It's great for me. I'm now out of the reproductive loop--potential kidney donor, will visit me in nursing home, and I never touch a diaper. Plus I get to buy him neat stuff. Sort of like instant grandkid!) Anyway I've been thinking about trying to do a children book, now that I actually have an audience...of course, by the time it saw print, he'll be shaving, but still.

You should ABSOLUTELY write a children’s book... Your work is amazing... And maybe you should even look into the Barnes and Noble thing.... This is the first time I’ve been to the gallery, and your work is beautiful and creative... The best I’ve seen... Keep up the good work!!!
