Sparky's Dream

I created this little painting for the June Nibblefest contest ("In the Mist"), it also works for Illustration Friday's "Fog" theme:



"Sparky's Dream"

You know how sometimes when you’re sitting on a bench, pretending to read your homework assignment and you just can’t stay awake? Then you sort of doze off, but you’re not really sure anymore if you’re awake or asleep, and all of a sudden squids start barging out of the mist in droves? Don’t you hate when that happens?

Please search NFAC on eBay (starting the 20th of each month) to see all of the other Nibblefest entries!

This is such a great interpretation of this month's NFAC theme, and it makes me laugh. :)

I love your characters, and I think you're the first artist I saw who painted squids and octopuses. Now everyone's doing it.

Thanks Valerie!

I was thinking about the squid phenomenon recently, how ubiquitous they've become over the last few years. I'm glad I started painting them when I did, or I'd feel like I was just jumping on a trend.

Love your new avatar, that's my favorite painting of yours!
