Richard Bell's nature sketchbook since 1998
Arkan Sonney, the Isle of Man’s lucky hedgehog, makes a return appearance, along with his chums Moddey Dhoo a.k.a. the Black Dog of Peel Castle and the Buggane, everyone’s favourite Manx bogeyman, on another of this week’s homemade cards.
A Kafkaesque take on Gary Larson’s domestic scenes of insect life in my latest homemade birthday card.
I often do quick roughs of these cards, not usually as elaborate as this one. I was going include a suggestion of the interior with a Gary Larson-style curtain and an open door, but decided to keep things as simple as possible in the final version.
