Ambulocetus beatnikii knew he was the heppest of the transitional forms.

------------

A very very quick silliness. Ambulocetus was an ancestral walking whale, and actually probably looked more like some kind of mutant Death Otter, but I was goin' for cute. (Not that death otters wouldn't be cute.)

Oh, like YOU never get the urge to draw transitional stages of whale evolution, only pudgy, with a beret...

8 x 10, watercolor, colored pencil, white acrylic. Not high art, but I thought it was funny. Original is for sale. Prints available, $10 plus shipping, visit [link] or send a note for details.

All I can say (beyond the standard gushing type of praise you must be used to) is that both myself and my boyfriend had a tremendous laugh from this piece. We both love your gallery and I know I'll be keeping an eye on you from now on. Your art is wonderful, and meshed as it is with your delightfully wicked (charming?) sense of humour only makes it an extra special experience. :hug: Thank you!
