Bull Tickles the Bear!

Moscato, not liking how losing the first wrestling match to Rusty, challenged him to another. Moscato promised to give up his hard feelings on bears if Rusty were to win so he agreed to the match. However, Moscato had another trick up his sleeve. First he managed to trip Rusty in a no rules match and then he quickly hopped on his back, grabbed his right ankle, and began tickling the sole of Rusty's bear foot! Rusty tried to hold back as long as he could, a couple of seconds, and then burst into insane laughter as Moscato held him in place for a couple of ticklish minutes. That match went to Moscato! 

This again was also a statement on a positive economy and stock market. This may not be good for Rusty, but it's great for Wall Street! 8D

Witch Flying on Broom in the Autumn

This is Sophia Twitchet, who is 348 years old flying across the sky with her 325 year old cat, she cast an immortality spell on him centuries ago, Mirkwood. They are out causing trouble, mostly casting bad luck spells to the people below over Boston, Massachusetts. 

I drew this at the request of a close friend at work where she wanted me to draw a witch flying a broom with her black cat and autumn leaves blowing around! 

Enjoy and have a happy month of October and Halloween too! 8D

Alaskan Rush!

Sam Mc Ford was a cook in Seattle who lost interest in his mediocre job. Upon hearing from his brother, Ben, that he found gold in the Snake River near Nome, Alaska, Sam headed north to strike it rich and give up his tiring job as a cook. Sam went to the secret location that Ben revealed to him and lo and behold he found plenty of gold just inches underneath the edge of the river. However, Sam doesn't know that just behind him a huge polar beat snuck up behind him, Roland, to jokingly scare the wits out of him, while hoping that Sam's faithful husky, Lassen, doesn't give him away early! 8D

I came up with this idea while listening to the song "North to Alaska" by Johnny Horton and although this picture is pretty different than the song, it was certainly inspired by it. I wanted to come up with a group of 3 that would all come together and soon become friends in 1890's Alaska, just a bit before the Nome Gold Rush.

The Bear takes the Bull

Moscato, the bull, doesn't like bears at all and challenges Rusty to a public wrestling match. Rusty, tired of Moscato's attitude accepts the challenge. Unfortunately for Moscato, Rusty proved to be more than a match for the powerful bull and gets the smack down of his life!

I originally created Moscato as a symbolic adversary relating to the state of the economy, you know, the bear and bull markets. Considering the recent economic events in China and the huge drops at the New York Stock Exchange, I thought the timing was perfect! 8D

This Land is Your Land

After I made my 4th of July drawing, only a little more than a month and a half from this post, I recorded many patriotic songs on to my phone from Rhapsody and my favorite was "This Land is Your Land" by Woody Guthrie. 

I just love the song because it describes America in a beautiful way, it includes redwood forest, diamond deserts, fog lifting, and it is just so fun and inclusive. It's what America is supposed to be!

So in honor of this song, I decided to make a drawing about and how my bear, Rusty, is describing all of this to his friends. It's just a cute symbolic picture that describes some of the best physical elements of America.

It goes like this:

This land is your land, This land is my land,
From California to the New York island;
From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and Me.

As I went a-walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me.

I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
All around me a voice was a-sounding;
This land was made for you and me.
