day one-hundred-and-forty - beluga whale

yay another chance to quote mr scruff!

'there's a whale, there's a whale
there's a whale fish he cried
and the whale was in full view'

a beluga whale that is - or white whale if you like - one of the smallest whales around town. sea-town.

it's a simple drawing, but i think it suits the species. pure white and free of detail. apparently they are born brown or gray, and slowly fade to white as they mature. that's a nice way to transition into adulthood me thinks.

'whales, i am your friend'

day twenty-five - meh

sorry. this is all you get because today: my dog ran away, my wallet was stolen, i lost my job, i had to wash my hair, i was in a car crash, i had a funeral to attend and i had to go to hospital. (two of those are true... well three, but i didn't NEED to wash my hair)

i only drew the right page in the first picture today. the others are lunch-time doodles of the week.

i'll cover my penchant for animals riding other animals at a more opportune time. g'night.

day eighteen - koala?

or something.

yeah so here's the thing, i don't like you enough to put you before socialising, so all you get today are my lunch-break sketches. mainly involving animal waiters, a self-portrait, and double-koala-action. but not in a gross way.

i will never draw that.

yep. i'm tired.

also a drawing of a bunch of animals would seem to contradict "an animal a day", but i made this thing up and there are no rules. except the daily thing. and the drawing. and involving animals. but that's it. and i'll draw as many things as i like! and AND humans are animals.

and me especially so. i'll make the crossover one day... whatever that means.
