Description
I debated uploading this for a few reasons. One of them being the terrible quality of the scan. But I'm a little sick of seeing nothing but faces staring back at me on this gallery so... I'll put it here now.This was done for my son, part of a series of paintings depicting my chidlren's hopes and dreams. First, he LOVED the movie 'up', hence the balloon type imagery. Second, he wants to be a bug scientist when he grows up. So this is my oldest boy, off exploring bugs as a bug scientist/adventurer.
Done in colored pencils and watercolors.

Damn !!!
Yeah I'm somewhat allergic to the yellow jackets myself ... and a wasp nest in a car would totally suck.

I can definitely relate. Entomology for the win!
What a wonderful visual adventure as well. The detail on the bugs, even *if* the scanner ate some of it, is amazing.

Awww that's so sweet! I love the way all the colors blend into each other. This is a very fun piece! ^^ I'm not a fan of (most) bugs, but this makes me happy nonetheless. XD
