Well, every good thing does indeed end (and hopefully leads to more good things)...I left the Quimby Colony in Portland, ME yesterday after completing a three month residency. Twas very sad to put Maine behind me for now, but hopefully new adventures will prove to be equally spectacular. These are just a few drawings I did to thank some of the people who made my experience at Quimby really, really amazing/transformative. The 60s lion has become kind of redundant, but I thought I'd do a different version. Then there's a sassy looking, smoking, Victorian buffalo (you know, like you do), and also a Victorian giraffe. The non-animal is just a musing on Victorian fashion, for another gift. Enjoy!
