Shy Anteater by Meg Lyman

He wanted to join the crowd... they looked like they were having an awful lot of fun. But he was shy and a little afraid. Who'd ever heard of a purple anteater???

More Ubuntu art! This was one of my favorites to paint (Hoary Hedgehog gets the top honor) because herons are so... angular. And cool. And Hardy.

Angularfish by Meg Lyman

Sun, 25 May 2008 19:23:34 -0000

Sitting at a convention table can get boring when nobody's buying. I was doodling, trying to inspire my imagination, when my friend told me I should draw an anglerfish. Except she said "angularfish." It stuck. Perhaps I should have made him more angular.

Soused Mouse by Meg Lyman

Sat, 01 Sep 2007 20:16:46 -0000

He got lost trying to walk home, he can't stand up unassisted, he can't see straight, and he dropped his beer... but he's smiling anyway. Nothing can keep a happy drunk down. Admittedly influenced by two excellent artists, Mercer Mayer and Ursula Vernon.
