Vulpes Vulpes

So the ever wonderful fox has been running through my mind again, yes again.
Back in November, I drew some silly sketches of a very simplified Fox and typed some "Fox facts" (say that 3 times fast)!

Many other artists are also hopping on the fox wagon, and why-not with their fluffy tails and red fur, they are captivating and fun!
I was at Target and nearly bought a wallet with a fox on it ... so they are a trend too. Are they subliminally popping into my head?

I created this little fox last night and while s/he IS better then my previous sketches s/he is not looking the way I prefer... Those darn snouts! Lol

This picture is not complete, and I'm not all that sure I will complete it. 
My inner artist is on vacation, which is just silly seeing as we are having 
record temps in the 80's!! 
I hope she comes back soon with lots of inspiration and direction.

When your inner artist takes a break what do YOU do?

  1. oh i like him.those eyes are captivating! I like the whimsicalness {is that ven a word?! } .Foxes are cute.i hope you do finish it.

    when my inner artist/creative person leaves no matter what i try i just stuff things up.I tend to look at fabric or paints and try and find a colour for that one thing to make me get excited again but even then when the creative side is on vacation ive learnt to just do that take a rest until im ready
