Day 98/100: Two Things Today...

Originally, today's post was going to be a video run-through of some of the things that have been visited the most on BoundingSquirrel this year. 

And then I ended up sketching (or attempting to sketch) this variegated holly in watercolour and pen. It turns out that getting the creamy edges to show up really well is quite the challenge, so will give this another go at a later date.

In the meantime,  if you'd rather watch the video instead, you still can. It seems that the most whimsical illustrations came out on top this year.

More tomorrow.

Day 92: Happy New Year Card

 It's been the strangest of years. So it feels a bit odd daring to look ahead even this close to the end of the year. And the humour (humor!) in this New Year Card design is darker than I would normally go. But the extra words are fully changeable and removable, So you can actually make it send any new year message you want, in any year.

Hope you're well, and thriving, not just surviving, in any event. More tomorrow!

Day 67/100: This Really Happened...

 

Hi again. Hope you're thriving, in all the circumstances.

Today's cartoon is based on a conversation I had recently which first led me to question my sanity, and then to want to publish this cartoon in order to defend joy. 

If you're genuinely feeling joy at a given point, please don't do what I did in this situation. Let it shine, because we need it more than ever now, not less.

Enough waffle. More tomorrow

2021 Calendar Cartoon

 Today's cartoon is all about a 2021 calendar:

Now I had been about to get all clever with this, and announce a 2021 calendar full of cartoons at the same time.

Until discovering that most sane people embark on a project like this in about July of each year, not November.

Nonetheless, it would still be theoretically possible to get one to you if there's a demand.

What do you think?

Please have your say over on the Facebook page.

Many thanks and in any event, enjoy the cartoon. 

More tomorrow.

More tomorrow.
