But I got itchy fingers...
When I get itchy fingers, there are only three things that I can do to fix them: Commit grand theft, hot wire a car, or draw a picture. Since I would probably get caught stealing anything (the only thing I have stolen was a button from a fabric store when I was in 7th grade.. and the alarm went off so I threw it in a carton of fabrics and ran. I didn't know fabric stores put alarms on buttons...). And since I have no clue how to hot wire a car I only had one choice.
So meet the latest sock monkey in my shop: Captain Monkeybones.

I think this is my most favorite illustration yet. Actually, I think that about every picture I draw. But there is something about his newspaper pirate hat, wooden sword, and the fact that he is sailing in the most shallow water in all of the high seas, that completely appeals to me.

And I hope you do too!
How about Captain Monkeybutt! He is adorable and so is crabby!

ReplyDeleteYour sock monkeys are just TOO cute! I think that when Maguire is old enough for his "big boy" room (not too far off!) I'd love to do a monkey theme! I've already got my very own Maguire Monkey from Tootsie and Grace :)
ReplyDeleteSweety style. Good work on this blog. Great !
ReplyDeleteI love his hook hand!!
ReplyDeleteAye, aye Cap'n! A much beter choice than hotwiring a car... Which I would have considered completely impossible for you to do until I read your "6 unimportant things" post... Hehehe.... (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
