At San Diego, a fellow asked if I did commissions. I'd never been asked before, but thought it might be fun. He wanted me to draw an animal. After being sick my first week after the show, I got to work this week. I decided to draw the monkey and the crocodile from the fable I drew a few years ago. This scene is of the two of them entering the river for a fateful trip at the end of the story. I was right at San Diego; it was fun. I hope you like the drawing, Joshua. It's in the mail.

Very nice -- you have a real knack for making your characters cute but also fleshy and lumpy with a real sense of weight and volume. I love the monkey's thick ears and brow contours.
A Monkey n' Alligator drawing that you did is hung proudly in my home, Rob.
Great to see those characters in new settings.
I absolutely love the drawing, thank you very much. I intend to frame it and hang it in my daughters' room. It was very nice to meet you, and you can tell your wife that I enjoyed both of her stories that I bought. "The Suicidal Dog" was my favorite. I can't wait for "The Man Who Loved Breasts". I placed my pre-order through my local comic shop the week I got back from San Diego. Thanks again.

My daughter would like to use this illustration for a story that she wrote (she is 12). She knows that she has to get permission from you, and cite your information before printing it as a school project. Please let us know soon, her assignment is due this week.
Hi Molly. Usually the charge to use illustrations for school projects can be quite steep, but since your daughter is still in elementary school, I'll waive it. I wish I could send you a higher res image, but it looks like I lost it in a hard drive meltdown.
Tell your daughter good luck with her story.
Thank you very much!
