Reminds me a very similar Durer's portrait of the bunny Maybe it was your inspiration? By the way, very interesting work, like whole your gallery!

thank you! i've been doing the rabbit portraits for a little while...
i love Durer's rabbit, and in fact all of his work...he's one of my great sources of inspiration in general.

yes, there is something 'Durer-like' in your works... And your drawings are so well done, so professional (I like especially the nudes) , the anatomy and things like that. You're a great artist! yes! yes!

i remember, it was marvin the martian's pet monster...they modeled the character from lenny, from "of mice and men"...he always wanted rabbits, but his idiot strength insured that he hurt anything he touched...poor lenny...

I'm not worried about the bunnies--just imagining the folks at the Society if they were aware of your secret double life corrupting innocent young minds around the world with your OTHER work. Thanks for the help with that, BTW...

yes, i think so...she's like a dark brown with orange...i think that might be why they call her reese, like the peanut butter cup.

LOL! Love the bi-colored face, and the treatment of the fur and overall look reminds me of Duerer's famous hare. [link]

You tease! Another wonderful rabbit drawing. I really like this one a lot. The rabbit actually looks like it is laying down on top of the piece of paper,.. as if here were real. I give credit to your wonderful shading ability. The detail in the fur is incredible. Everything from the shine to the direction in which it flows is awesome.
