Daily Pattern : Mice get hungry, too.

I think this might be the second time I've drawn some mice. You can't blame me... they're super cute.

I don't quite understand how people can't like them - I'll take a mouse as a pet any day. I'm a huge fan of their beady eyes. (All beady eyes, actually) Well, here you go, some sweet mice playing around (And probably getting ready to feast) on some swiss cheese. Super appetizing!

Daily Pattern: Bats

In all of the houses me or my family has lived in, I don't recall ever having problems with rats or mice. We did have rodent problems, though. At one point, we lived in a really old house that had bats in the attic. We didn't live there long.

Daily Pattern: Chinchillin'

Today's pattern is dedicated to a great friend: Batman.

Batman was my pet chinchilla and she was awesome. She was friendly and turned her head to the side to let you know she wanted her chin scratched. She would bounce around like a lightning bolt in her cage all night long (luckily I'm also nocturnal). She would bath in her dust-bast with reckless abandon. And she loooooved raisins and little wooden chew toys.

I was pretty distraught when she passed away but I still remember all the good times. So here's a pattern of Batman and a few of her favorite things (the carrots are actually little flat wood chews).

Mice and Pipes

“Today I am inspired by the cartoon Ratatouille to create this pattern about rodents. I know that mice live in tunnels and basements. They're very dark and unpleasant places, but I tried to imagine what mice do there and how they have fun.”

Daily Pattern: Field Mouse

This is another product from a recent tiny bit of Photoshop exploration. Turns out a body can make patterns in Photoshop pretty okay! This pattern is in honor of my grandma, who used to tell my sister and me stories about the little animals that lived in her yard. She is a huge fan of Beatrix Potter and loves of all kinds of animals.
