I Didn't Think Whales Could Burp...

This is a piece that I made for my mom as a Christmas gift. The whale is definitely Amy Sol inspired. I don't know...they just make me happy. The drawing was originally done in one of my sketchbooks as just an ink sketch. I scanned that in and added the swirls, background pattern and color in Photoshop. All in all, I was pretty happy with the result so I think I am going to work on more like these. The Whale bubbles were intended to be sort of "kisses" but now the more I look at it the more it looks to me like its burping. Strangely, I'm ok with that.

And for those of you who notice the time stamp on this, that is not a miscalculation..it actually is almost 4 in the morning. I've developed a glorious case of insomnia and it's kind of making me insane. So now I stay up watching things like this (thanks to my sister Katie). The red and black ones are good as well. Enjoy.
