mostly stream of consciousness... but also playing with the idea of a child's imagination and reality being depicted in the same image.

MAS PORFAVOR:)
This is such a cool IDEA
IT's almost got a Dr. Seuss feel.
MAKE A BOOK!!

I really like the child looking back behind the animal (where they have been? who knows), the belly on the front child and the way he is holding the bird head...and the moment I realized the headless beast had 6 legs.

The children feel playful and at rest in their play.

And if I look too long at the beast and the bird head I begin to feel a little creeped out.

your sense of line in your drawings is marvelous. I only wish i could draw like that. I'd love to hear about some of your influences sometime.
