Thanks Sketch Lad! I'd love to turn the "oops, wrong door" drawing into a Halloween kid's book of some kind...

These are all fun!
I especially like the two self portraits and the 'Elephants and Thimble' piece you did for Scholastic Books.

Way cool stuff!
Yummy!

That "Elephants & Thimble" piece facinates me!!

Thanks! Algerland might look like a fun amusement park from the outside, but beware- once you buy your tickets and get inside, it's a slum! [Smile]

Thanks Candle! I cheated, though- those two self portraits look nothing like me (unless it was me as a child or something)... [Smile]

Thanks, Rhino! I did the elephant artwork a few years ago for an educational textbook and I can't, for the life of me, remember what the hell it meant! I really need to search through my paperwork and figure it out! [Smile]

Wonder Lapin is kinda like 'Oops, wrong door,' but I think the color actually makes it less effective.

The black and white of 'Oops, wrong door' is way, way cooler and creepier, IMO.

Thanks Set! I'd like to turn the 'Oops, wrong door' image into a kids book or comic book story one of these days.
