New shirts now available at brookline booksmith

I had a lot of fun with this, given free reign by the owners to come up with an image.

For those interested in educating themselves on the subject, I made a short video with recommendations on where to start.

First time painting an otter, was reminiscent of the ferret I had when I was younger 💕

The fluidity of swimming underwater and including little bubbles were fun aspects to explore 🌊

Hopefully he’ll be good company to Oscar as he grows up 🦦
