Fishing with Dad!

This takes place when Rusty was a child and he was spending the day fishing with his dad, Benny, on Father's Day at Sapphire Lake! 8D

We Bare Bears in Huntington Park

The family of Bare Bears went out to have a good time in San Francisco and brought little Chloe with them for fun! Ice Bear is doing tai chi, Panda is surfing the web on his phone, and Grizz is getting tickled on the belly by Chloe! 8D

Love and Joy Come to You!

This is a drawing of a young Rusty being chased around for fun by his sisters in front of his mother and father after Christmas Dinner years ago! 
I was inspired by the "Wassail Song" created long ago by an unknown writer and/or singer. I loved how Walt Kelly, of the old Pogo comic strip, did some Christmas Season cartoons involving this part of the song. I am using the words "father" and "mother" in place of the original lyrics "master" and "mistress" because those terms are out of date by modern terms. Anyway, I just though this would be a fun and cute family Christmas drawing and Merry Christmas to you all!

Paw Valley - 169

Oh, Moscato is just stirring up a load of trouble!

Grizzly Bear TP Party

Rusty invited Walter and Razortooth to a party at his dad's house and it turns out that bears have a lot of fun with toilet paper!

*Of course, this was inspired by the Charmin tissue paper commercials! 8D

Paw Valley # 24

Rusty knows that working with his dad isn't easy! :C

Paw Valley # 21

At least Walter can put some joy into Rusty's life! 83

Paw Valley # 20

Rusty doesn't like the pranks that his dad pulls on him! Plus, Benny was having a good time before Rusty was born! ;3

Paw Valley # 19

Here we meet Rusty at his workplace, the Boulder Food Diner, and his father, Bennie Boulder, the owner. He's a pretty fun guy, isn't he?

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.

Rusty's Flashback

O.K. This piece involves little Rusty Boulder trying to keep his dad from embarrassing him in front of the rest of his family. Rusty's dad sees this as being harmless, but Rusty really never liked his dad telling jokes about him. Rusty never likes to see others made fun of and tries to be different from his father. Rusty developes a very good heart over time. Unfortuately, Rusty becomes overly sensitive about the way other's see him. When I started this piece, I wanted to do some kind of lighting experiment with fire in a darkened room. It looks good to me and I hope that you like it to. This scene would also explain why Rusty likes to hang out with Walter, his raccoon friend, all of the time.

Holiday Shopping

This is my oldest colored Christmas picture. I just thought that it would be nice to show this to you, especially since tomarrow is Christmas. In this scene Walter Ringtail, the raccoon, and his best friend the bear, Rusty Boulder, are walking through downtown Paw Valley. They are enjoying each other's company and chatting while doing their holiday shopping together. I hope that you like this picture, even though it is my first colored Christmas picture. Anyway, I hope that all of you are done doing your holiday shopping by now because even in a bad economy, the stores will be very busy for last minute shoppers! I wish you and your family only the best! Have a very Merry Christmas!
