Holy moly it's a bunch of charming animals!

Well, that was a week-and-a-half. Unexpected and undesired events over the weekend threw off all of my careful plans, and what suffered the most was this blog. On the bright side, I have done all that I believe lies within my power regarding a vexing personal situation, so I have hopes of being able to make progress in leaving it behind me.

Also on the bright side, a project I've been working on for some time has finally reached completion:


I ran across a tutorial for creating a tiling pattern (and then mislaid the link, to my deep chagrin), and decided that the best way to test it would be to draw over thirty southern African mammals (and a couple of non-mammals). Here you behold the results (yes, there is a honey badger. Can you find it?).

BUT WAIT! (as they say)

There is, in fact, more.


Yes, you are correct: a whole mess of products bearing this delightful pattern may be found in my Zazzle shop! Not only the notecard above, but everything from iPhone cases to tissue paper! I have added fifteen new products to the shop, all told.

Even better news: over the coming weeks I cherish the hope of separating out, recoloring, and putting some of the individual animals on stuff. Prefer a mug with nothing but a charming African Civet on it? Never fear, my friend, you will have your wish in due time. Also I will post my progress on this blog, for the pleasure and edification of all and sundry. As one does.

GO STRAIGHT TO ALL OF THE SOUTHERN AFRICAN MAMMALS

Someday, when I am not taken up with drawing innumerable animals, fending off personal matters, or working unexpected hours at Day Job, I will provide a non-Zazzle update (possibly even further adventures of Mr. Seal). Until then, I remain yr. humble correspondent.
