It's so ... what's the word I'm searching for?! I know - uplifting! I LOVE your illustrations, girl! Reminded me of the upcoming Pixar flick (no affiliation, scope out teaser preview here: http://pixarblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/up-theatrical-trailer-online.html)
Holy cow! How'd you accomplish such realistic clouds? Are they watercolored? Fantastic! Any updates on the poultry scene? Oh, and I'm bummed I lost the bid on that awesome wooden stocking. :(
Luck Tom. How clever and very funny. I think that you are super talented and I enjoy coming to your blog. Thanks for sharing your wonderful gift with all of us.
I think what I like most about this one is the clouds. They look so real! Of course I adore chickens, and pink is nice too. So I guess I really like it all :-)
wonderful, topical take on the theme! love him!

Did you "paint" those clouds or are they a photograph? Tom looks like he had a good meal before he headed out of town. :) This is so cute and funny!
