Illustration Friday - Speed



I'm not sure if a hippo on roller skates is a good representation of "speed" but who knows with all that weight, she might be able to get some pretty good momentum -especially on the downhill runs. (Click on image for a larger view.)

I also scrolled down the page... you have a very good classic style here. I can picture all of these in books. Great work!

how delightful! If I saw this hippo I would want to be friends! You really capture the perfect facial expressions for your characters. I don't want to offend any of the winners or entries of the cave contest(they were all wonderful) but had you been eligible you would have won! Your illustration of bears and boy is perfection!!!

My goodness - she's a graceful multitasking hippo! I'm sure that getting around on skates must feel like speed to her:> I love your spring and monster illos too!

This is really cute, and I'm sure she moves faster on skates than on foot. *G*
