Me había olvidado de mi primer libro para colorear. La idea surgió de una experiencia más bien mala, estos dibujos estaban pensados para ser un regalo, pero terminaron como un libro para colorear para que todos lo vieran. Como sabes, mi obsesión son las plumas y los picos, y dibujé 48 pollos diferentes. Los librosContinue reading “Welcome to the Flock!”

Ducks started my love for waterContinue reading “Moana the Albatross”
