Illustration Friday: Bottled

Illustration Friday: Reverse

Illustration Friday: Surrender

Chicken Little. A story about a chick that surrenders to fear and spreads it to others - ultimately leading them to their demise: a sly fox. Disney’s version, however... :-)

Illustration Friday: Resolutions

They each made resolutions to enter the room, not knowing what they would find.
