The varnishing of this new guy! The first person to correctly guess who this fella is gets a free 11x14 print. I will say that it’ll be obvious to only a few people. #animalsfromhistory #jackalope #artistsoninstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #varnish #oilpainting #rabbit #jackrabbit (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)

I visited Julia Boylan’s third grade class at James Buchanan Elementary a few weeks ago to talk about being an illustrator. They were a great class and full of ENERGY!
