I’m jumping ahead a bit with #DoodlewashApril2021 Prompts: Giraffe & Rooster. The Girooster Alebrije is a hybrid of the Giraffe and Rooster. I can’t decide if I should go totally wild or keep it to more realistic coloration. Zebra Technical Pen on Hahnemühle 640 gm Hot Press Collection Watercolor paper.

A Very special Birthday wish for a Very special person!
( wishes from Canada😁)
Can’t wait to read the new book ! -
Hey Charlie Happy Birthday! The 13th was my aunt’s birthday too (1913, a year before the Titanic sank on that date if I got that right). Here’s a hug from Canada’s hot spot! Take care and tell Philippe you get two big pieces of cake.
Take care!
-
Thanks so much! 😃💕 Oh that’s wonderful I share a bday with your aunt! Thanks for the hug! Sending you a big one back!!

HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY EVER!! How grateful I am that we are all here to celebrate you🤗👏👏👏 Numbers are just numbers but some are really cool! When I hit the ‘5-O’ I told people, “See! I’m not a quitter!”💁♀️ And five years later I started my art journey over☺ You are cooking with gas my friend! Of course your newest book is only one more in a long line of successes-and we’ll all cheer that!! EVERY blessing is my birthday prayer for you (and yours)! PS:Don’t forget to tell us how to get signed copies of that book🤗
-
Thanks so much!! 😃💕 hehe… I love the idea of simply not being a quitter! So true! Thanks SO much for cheering me on. I really appreciate it. As for signed copies… I hadn’t even thought about that. hehe… so I’ll have to think about it!

Happy Birthday!!!! Hope all of your birthday wishes come true! 🤗

Happy 50th birthday!
I got my 2nd shot on Monday!! I’m juked up about it! Part of the herd.
Are you back at work?
I hope you do another paint/blog tomorrow so we can find out what little gifts you got. Like me, we don’t need stuff, but a little thing is much appreciated!
-
Thanks so much, Lisa! 😃💕 I go into the office a couple days a week and it’s just me and my art director in masks at this point. And yay for your second shot! I just got my today actually. I’m only doing posts every few days as I’m working on the next book, but I got a Lego Bonsai Tree that was sold out everywhere and that make me so happy. And… a couple Star Wars Legos and a Nintendo Switch game. Literally nobody would think the person receiving these things was turning 50! lol 😉

Happy birthday, Charlie. I love your new doodle.

Thanks so much, Gary! 😃💕 Glad you enjoyed this one!

Hi Charlie, Happy Half Century!! Hope your book proofs look super, but we are all sure they do. We can hardly wait! Enjoy your birthday cake and hopefully a surprise gift for you to unwrap. May God grant you many many years!
-
Thanks so much, Bob! 😃💕 hehe… yeah, I think a half century doesn’t make me feel old at all. It just feels like quite an accomplishment! And I really hope folks enjoy the new book series. I’m loving writing and illustrating them! Wish you all the best as well!

Thanks so much, Claire! 😃💕 aww I hope you enjoy the new book… I’m very excited about it!

Muchas gracias, Marisela! 😃💕 You’re too sweet. Sending you much love back my friend. I’m rather excited for all of the crazy things I’ll do in this decade! hehe… It’s going to be even more fun!!
-
Thanks so much, Mari! 😃💕 What a wonderful wish!
-
Merci beaucoup, Cathy! 😃💕 As for the books. So far, all of my books are appearing on Amazon.fr, but it sometimes takes a little time for the newest ones to appear!
-
Thanks so much, Mugha! 😃💕 Glad you enjoyed this one! And I DID get cake… just a little bigger than Philippe normally serves it, but I still think it was rather small by American standards! hehe And YES! I’d love to read your stories some day!

Thanks so much, Shawn! 😃💕 hehe… yeah… I do love Skittles!

If you\'ve seen a Tiger moth caterpillar, you know they are quite prickly! I haven\'t done an alebrije - one of those fanciful combination animals of a mystical Mexican motif - for a while, and I thought, \'Hey, I\'ll do a Tiger Moth Caterpillar alebrije!

It\'s been a long few weeks and I haven\'t been able to get much art done. It\'s the first time in years that I\'ve gone so long in-between drawing and painting. After doing art daily for so long, it amazes me how hard it is to get started again and how quickly you lose the flow in your work. If you don\'t use it, you DO lose it!
