really cute. if my memory serves me right, i think my childhood ride was a firetruck complete with ladders. hmm... now that i think about it, maybe that's not such a good idea for a toddler. anyhow, cheers.

I LOVE your style. the illo is super cute, I especially like his little feet sticking out from the bottom of the plane. Reminds me of the Flinstones (one of my childhood faves)

this is very reminiscent of Bill Watterson's Calvin as Spaceman Spiff in his rocketship... lovely style!

This illo is very cute and your style is great!

Love it! It reminds me of a toy firetruck my grandfather had on his farm. We played forever on that rusty thing.

Thanks for the memory.

Great stuff once again. So where you working at right now? How are you liking New Brunswick?

Hatem said...

crylic

thanks a lot!
New Brunswick is pretty good, There is a lot to be admired, I have lived all my life in a big loud city and I like how relaxed NB is.
as for work, nothing canadian or north american yet, just positive potentials from some people I contacted but no promises or actual jobs yet. but I still do some freelance work for people I used to work for in Egypt and some other clients from the middle east.
anyway hopefully soon I will get there in Canada haha. my goal is to work from home as a freelance llustrator. if you want to let me know anything you would like to point out to me plase email me :)
