Description A humorous piece I did to add to my portfolio. It's a scene from a humor series I read by Pat McManus, about his childhood escapades in backwater Oregon. I think the piece captured the humor of a story about him having to outwit a neighbor's bull to get to prime fishing locations.

Hah, is that Strange?! I met McManus at an outdoors expo a few years ago and got him to sign all my books. Quality. I love it.

Yeah, my crappy version of Strange. I could never figure out what exactly he looked like...

You got to actually meet McManus?? I am SO jealous! What was he like?

Very scruffy. I also think he didn't realize he had a fanbase with 12-year-old girls; he was pleased.

This piece is so cute, it has so much character and such an amusing message. I love works that have personality, lately I have seen a real lack of them, this is the first one in a long time I've come across!

Most of my pieces are lacking it though, but when I see one I like I just have to comment on it <3

Keep up the good work, I'm off to browse the rest of your gallery~!

I'm a huge fan of Patrick McManus, and when I saw this thumbnail, that story by him is the first thing I thought of! So be gratified. This is really adorable, realistic and exaggerated all at once - I love Pat's expression and the beautiful skin tone and golly, I like this so much I'm faveing it.

Oh. My. God.
And here I thought I was the only freak out there my age who knows of--and likes-- ol' Patty M! XD

One day I want to illustrate more of his stories, but as he paints such complex scenes, it's hard to illustrate everything. I think I'd like to do his first deer story next, if anything

Please do! I would love to see any other scenes you'd care to take a whack at. Might I suggest "secret places" or the one where Pat and Crazy Eddie chop down the giant tree?

Which book is "Secret Places" from? I'm not remembering that one..

You sure? With the attic above Crazy Eddie's garage and the jars he and Pat filled there? It's one of my favorites.

Oh yeah! Sorry, the title just didn't ring any bells. I dunno-- I think that one would be a little too gross to illustrate. ;D

Wow! This is amazingly done!
I love the boys expression and the pose.
HeΒ΄s really cute. ^^
The coloring is also amazing!
Wonderful job!
People should comment and give some respect to this much more than it now has.

An amazing piece to say the least. I love the vibrant colors and the brilliant character pose. The 'frozen moment' is spectacular!
