From The Vault: Bear & Pig

Here’s another set of illustrations from 1999. I came up with a couple of characters that I creatively named “Bear & Pig” and sent them around the world. As I recall, I had more destinations in mind for the duo, but had to move on to other projects.
This first piece was the inspiration for the rest. It was for a self-promotional postcard. The caption was to read: “‘Oh, no!’ Exclaimed Mr. Pig. ‘Without opposable thumbs, how will we ever finish our project?’” That, of course, would be where I came in.
One of my favorite parts of drawing is when you’re able to crack yourself up. I remember giggling to myself quite a bit as I drew those horns onto Mr. Pig.
Vegas! Please ignore the horribly drawn lights in the rafters. There are times when rendering everything with a tiny brush starts to wear you down and, if you’re not careful, it ends up on the page. I should have just taken a break.
Of course, I spend all that money to send the pair to Russia and what does Mr. Bear do? He sleeps through the whole goddamn thing. Sheesh.
