Single-Horned Closet Monster

So I was thinking about "closet monsters" today; not that am particularly scared of them. On the contrary, I think of them as cute creatures with glistening skin and bright eyes! Harmless!

This particular closet monster, had an unfortunate accident; he broke a horn when coming out of Mary's closet. Well, so far Mary hasn't decided whether to get scared or just help the poor fellow!

PS - here's my very first attempt on fully drawing and painting a so-called "monster". I'm quiet disappointed comparing my "cute" version to those that can be found on the web.

I Have Never Been Here

Here's my piece for the Children's Illustrator Club monthly topic.

"I have never been here", said the little angel to himself. "ain't angels suppose to fly in the sky?! I must have misread the map or I wouldn't be here floating on the back of this huge jellyfish!"

Unlike the well known phrase "Been there, done that"; I must say I have NEVER been "there"(ref. to under the ocean) and I have NEVER done "that"(ref. to me drawing jellyfish and all!)

PS - And here is a little announcement I'm going to make: I've just won the second place in Cathy's art contest, It's Magic, and will be receiving her book as a prize in coming weeks! Isn't it AWESOME!

IF: Fearless

"King Fearless"

"King Fearless" was brave 'n bold
Wrapped 'round him a blood red shawl!
Though his sword was made of tin,
It didn't make it less keen and clean!
All monsters he could easily take
Even "Nessie" from Loch Ness Lake!
