The Critters In The Trumpet Tree


A few days ago, I had a really nice reunion with fellow animation artist (and magician!) Flaviano Armentaro in Milano, Italy. Right after that I did that piece above with the green critters chit chatting in their tree cafe. (BTW: Tree and characters take part of 'The Recalibrated Fantastic Adventures of Huckleberry Finn')

    This is awesome! And those tree branches are more "Dr. Suess" than the stuff Dr. Seuss drew. I love your character designs... you have the most appealing style. It's great.
