Goldfish
As far as inspiration goes, I’ve been in a very very long dry spell. The couple of good ideas that I do come across I cling to obsessively, and practice little peices at a time before going after the actual painting.
I want to do some wierd thing of goldfish-as-hot-air-balloons, but I need to work on my goldfish.

I was hiking at Point Lobos State Reserve this weekend and an image came to me: hamster and rattlesnake — merged. So, uh, a rattleham, hamrattle, or rattlester. You know how venomous snakes have huge cheeks? Well, when a hamster hoards the food that it finds, its cheeks also get big. What if a hamster was venomous, too? And it had a little rattle for a tail instead of a stubby pinky? It’s incisors would be sharp as needles and its black eyes would be all filmy like a typical snakes. Yeah… that’d be cool.
If your goldfish had a text-bubble, it would belong in a comic book. The colors and texture has that feel to it. How’d you do that?
