Snowball Play

Walter Ringtail and Stein the Stoner Dog are playing with snowballs. Walter really didn't want to hit Stein, just tease him. :3

I made this as a fun Christmas gift to my best friend Steiny, JP Marone. You can visit his web site by looking in the top right corner of this blog. And Stein the Stoner Dog is his character so no copying, thanks!

All Lit Up!

After drinking too much spiced up egg nog, Walter has found out that New Brian got tangled up in the Christmas tree lights trying to place the star on top. This made New Brian pretty sad so Walter went over to cheer him up!

I did this for a friend who goes by the name of Dizzyfeathers on Deviant Art as part of a trade and if you visit, you can see his end of the trade, which is really fantastic! :3

*New Brian is a character copyrighted by the Family Guy tv show.

Holiday with Rusty

Walter (the raccoon) and Lester (the rabbit) pay a visit to Rusty's (the bear) cabin during the Holiday Season. They just ate some Christmas cookies and are drinking egg nog and listening to music.

The painting above Walter and Lester is a gift that Walter painted for Rusty called "Raining Joy," which is falling donuts.

Caught Stuffing

While Walter's mother went to leave the kitchen for a few minutes, he snuck into the kitchen to check on his Thanksgiving dinner. He wanted to try some of the stuffing because he was very hungry. He loved it but, his mother walked in to find that he stuck his bare paws in it! Yikes!

Sam Strikes Out!

Sam Ratson has finally got the chance to go out with his dreamgirl, but she finds that his personality is too crude for her!

Sadly, Sam doesn't know what he is up against!

Halloween Spook

Walter, Rusty, and Lester meet up with a ghost, while Trick or Treating, during the second grade. They thought the house at the end of the street would be a great place to get candy, since the house was well lit on Halloween, but they didn't know the man that lived there died years ago and he enjoyed scaring Trick or Treaters!

Vacation Begins

After putting up with constant work overload, at "Boulder Food Diner", and a crazy work environment with his dad, Rusty finally gets to go on vacation.

Rusty Boulder is my sweetest character and has to do real work from day to day, so I can often relate to him. He is also, my oldest character. I started out with a bear character to keep me happy while at work and I eventually named him Rusty because of his hair color.

Cablecar Ride

Sam Ratson is now out to stop Sidney Melborne, a rat that happens to be a common thief. Sam finds that he stole a lady's ring while riding in a San Francisco cablecar.

Sam is running across people's legs, in order to reach Sidney! I bet that feels good!

I'm sure the passengers are having a good time!

Walter and Company

Walter Ringtail is posing with his mother and best friends for a portrait.

Stein on Top of the World

This character doesn't belong to me, but to my great friend JP Marone. He is Stein the Stoner Dog and has a great attitude. He is just a wonderful blue dog who is not afraid to be himself! He has lots of potential and I hope that JP moves him to higher levels. JP is a wonderful person himself and great artist too! If you'd like to visit him you can go to his site at http://www.jpmarone.com/ . He did my character Walter Ringtail for me in exchange for this and I love it too!

Say hi to JP for me! Hey, that rhymes!

A Friendly Chat in Produce

A friend of mine was shot recently and he was a great friend of mine named Michael Caldwell.

He was very encouraging to me and a helpful friend. I miss him so much now and I dedicated this drawing to his memory.

Battle on the Bridge

Sam Ratson has discovered where Manchu Mouse has been hiding stolen jewelry, in the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge! Now Manchu Mouse is going to do everything he can to keep the jewels and from being thrown behind bars.

Can Sam stop a black belt mouse?

Chasing the Mail

Lester Hopper, a mail carrier in Paw Valley, is being chased by an angry dog!

Poor Lester!

Kitchy! Kitchy! Koo!

Walter,who just went through all of this trouble of burying his best friend deep in sand while he slept, finally tickles Rusty for his amusement!

Well you know that I had to follow up on "Oh, No!!" I just couldn't resist!

The Interrogation

Dr. Walnut, a sinister squirrel scientist, has planted tree elimination devices in San Francisco so he could replace all trees there with walnut trees! This is only a test of what he plans to do to the rest of the world! Sam Ratson figured out that Dr. Walnut was destroying trees in the city and must find the remaining devices before more trees are eliminated!

Oh, No!!

Walter pretends to be bored at the beach and ask Rusty if he could bury him in sand. Rusty gives in and falls asleep with his paws under his head. When Rusty wakes up, he finds himself buried deep in the sand with his feet sticking out and Walter asking, "Are you ticklish Rusty?"

I Love You Mom!

I made this picture and wrote this description for my mother's up coming birthday. This is Walter saying, "I love you mom!", while giving her a great big hug on her birthday. Her name is Susan Ringtail, who had to raise Walter by herself since he was an infant. She often calls him "Silverball."

Easter Surprise!

What starts out to be a pleasant Easter morning, turns into an embarrassing and confusing situation for poor Rusty. It appears that he is smacked in the face with an uncooked Easter egg by his close friend Lester Hopper. However, the culprit is really Lester's twin brother Ray, who has returned to Paw Valley and intends to make fools of Lester's friends!

Walter Tickled!

After going through a period of depression from embarrassing his best friend Rusty, Walter feels bad about what he done. After Rusty gets past this point, he visits Walter. Walter says that he is sorry for what he done and is still depressed about it. To show Walter that Rusty has no hard feelings about the matter, he tickles him!

Pirate Dream

After a night of watching a pirate tv marathon, Walter dreams of being a pirate captain with his best friends as crew members. I just had to draw my characters as pirates!

Walter's Crush

Walter Ringtail gets up the nerve to as a fellow art student, Tiffany Cottonball, if she would go to lunch with him. This is the beginning of his longtime crush over her. They become major rivals over time!

Fun at the Diner

Bennie Boulder, Rusty's dad and owner of the Boulder Food Diner, is showing an embarrassing childhood photograph to Rusty's best friends, Walter and Lester.

4th of July Parade

I was thinking that there should be some fun picture that I could do to celebrate the coming of Independence Day, so I created a picture of a 4th of July parade using Lester, Walter, and Rusty marching along together in Paw Valley. I hope you like it!

Campfire Ghoststory

I was asked by a friend of mine to create a picture using a bear on a camping trip. Well I decided that I would use my bear, Rusty, to tell a ghost story to his best friends, Walter and Lester, around a night time campfire.

Walter's Welcome

Walter Ringtail is welcoming you to the area that he lives in, Paw Valley!

Library Monkey

Rusty reads to children at the Paw Valley Library as a volunteer. Walter acts out the scene of the book, "The Crazy Monkey." Everyone enjoys Walter act at the library.

Happy Easter!

I decided to create an Easter picture starring my delivery bunny, Lester Hopper! He is giving out Easter Eggs to his friends along a path in Paw Valley!

Walter's Kindergarten Painting

Walter Ringtail has been practicing his artwork at home with lots of encouragement from his mother. Now, Walter has just started kindergarten only a few days before and he gets to paint his first ever school picture. Rusty, Walter's new friend, is amazed to see this painting! Soon the whole class , and the teacher included, will find out that Walter is a child prodigy!

Rusty Lends a Paw

This is Rusty Boulder handing over a baby squirrel to his mother after jumping into a pile of leaves that were raked up by his best friend Walter Ringtail. Rusty noticed a bit of a commotion on his way over to Walter's house and went to help out. Rusty is one of the friendliest, helpful, and supportive characters in Paw Valley! Right now I am writing my first book, "Ringtail," and even Rusty plays a major roll in the story. I thought that it would be great for you to know something about him before I was finished with the book. Wish me luck and thanks!
