Either you're posting too fast or I'm commenting too slow. Maybe latter ;-)

Very funny pirate bull with a funny name, though the stitchigs do concern me a little bit. Is he mental?

Love the creepy background.

Oliver, I'll send it to you tomorrow. I've to single out the latest version.

Because of the stitching: Kerchy has a problem with cutting himself. Poor cow.

«Florian Satzinger has a drawing style with a snap and verve that harken back to the best of classic Disney and mid 20th Century Warner Brothers animation. The lines with which he delineates his characters zing, bounce and swoop so delightfully that they suggest lively motion even before they’re animated. Satzinger credits Southworth as his major influence, and his work in the style of great classic hand-drawn animation shows his continuation of that tradition.»
