Illustration Friday - CARRY
Click to enlarge

Most hermit crabs are known for carrying their homes on their backs,
 but Julio is a bit of a show- off....

This week's illustration was inspired by a new little friend of mine, Braedan, who likes to visit the aquarium, and my REAL 8-yr-old hermit crab, Julio, who actually DOES carry clay flower pots, and would certainly try to pick up a treasure chest if we had one!

As always, I appreciate your comments!! Thanks for stopping by!

  5. The eyes got me in! Is it a look of surprise or fear? He's one mighty little fella isn't he? And your real hermit crab sounds like an interesting character too... :)

  6. What a delightful tribute to Julio & power-lifting hermit crabs everywhere! As well as a lesson to us all: no matter how tight a hold one keeps on a treasure, a rival can still walk off with it, right under one's nose.

  8. Very cute illustration. I don't blame him for keeping his house close, looks like quite an expensive estate.

  9. This one is awesome... Love the expressions on everyone's faces, that total "WTH" expression! Also, I dig the texture on the octopus. I love when cartoonists can add some texture to something, and still keep it simple and great looking. Nice job Michele!
