Psycho Squirrels attack Shark.


I know what you're thinking - "Red pandas are not squirrels". Well, FYI, that's supposed to be a Giant Indian Squirrel or Malabar squirrel. They're really cute in reality and I doubt they'd attack sharks like that. I couldn't however say the same for the regular squirrel/chipmunk. They're nasty little creatures.
I've seen a Flying Squirrel but not in flight. And I've only seen them at night (meaning, I've only seen their eyes). So for all I know, they're probably just bats with geeky teeth.

The Oyster's Song


I once had a blog where I wrote down my thoughts. This was before I discovered I liked drawing better than writing. In 2006, I wrote this poem in one of the posts. For someone who doesn't like poetry much, I seem to have written at least two more than I ought to have (I've written two).
It was one of those things one writes in five minutes by not thinking too much. I thought it was cheesy and therefore funny. So I wanted to share it here. I even drew some cheesy characters around the poem.
I can't say I've found purpose yet. Oh well.

Water Ferret gets the last laugh!


I recently went to Kumarakom (Kerala) in India with my family and while we were out on the backwaters on a boat, we saw a couple of river otters. They are really cute and I want one as much as I want a ferret. They do rather look like ferrets.
However, I still think everyone would have been far more excited if they saw a shark though.

ps - Liz Climo also has a cute comic with a shark and an otter. This could be a tribute!

Sea Scapes: Ocean Harmony

My sister asked me to paint her an "underwater" scene for her house. She gave me this rough doodle to describe what she wanted.

After much prayer that my sea creatures turn out alright, this here is my finished drawing.




I didn't add the "sea unicorns". I thought I'd save those for a less surreal drawing.

The Shark Tooth Fairy Quits!


Sharks could make a load of money this way! The Shark Tooth Fairy might go bankrupt though. I was playing around with a few ideas for this - one with The Shark being all industrious and on its way to being a millionaire, another with the regular tooth fairy threatening to quit and finally deciding on a tooth fairy exclusively for the sharks.

Water skiing with Jaws!


Now that's what I call a twist in the tale! One would expect the light bulb idea to be something like the Shark swimming after some water skier to terrorise them. But instead it got the idea to go water skiing! Get it?
Anyway, the last panel alone is in colour on purpose. Perhaps it's all a dream.
