Work In Progress - working on a dozen pics at once right now, as usual....
i have a few random series of pictures based on common themes - Kitties In Space, Bunnies On The Roadside, etc....not exactly stories but suggesting stories the viewer can fill in....i'll be posting these as i go...Sappo requested that start posting the BOTR series...so.....
Going back the "Great Depression" again...somewhat inspired by the occupy movement...i didn't want to romanticize homelessness, although Patches seems content with a can of beans, a scraps fire, her dog, a cigar and and a bottle of moonshine - ...but i think she would rather have a warm bed, a way to earn a living, friends, healthy food, etc etc etc...She's young, strong, adventurous and thinks she'll find her chance and make good. And because she lives in my little story world, she will find a happy ending.
Real world version is a nightmare not an adventure. Sorry had to say that. This is a fun fantasy, suggests adventure story - just didn't want to imply i was going "Oh those happy carefree hobos!!!"...
First new pic in the Bunnies On The Road series...don't know if there will be more...
BTW, even though this is a WIP there is a high level of detail and texture in parts, so full view and enlarge or download if you want....

Nice work with the coloring. Really captures the mood well in this image.
