New illustration! OUT NOW

HAPPY SUMMER!
It's been an incredible one in Toronto. Given we have 13 months of snow and wind, we now have had 214 days (or so it feels) of brilliant hot sunshine.
Here is my little spot for the current issue of Cottage Life magazine. I was asked to do an illustration for their Q & A section regarding a reader's current state of their blueberry bush; why each year less and less blueberries were present. My art director loved my animals and asked we focus on animals being the culprit. I had the idea of using raccoons (being they are sneaky and adorable) stealthily sneaking berries, being little bandits with their masks. We went back and forth with several ideas and this is the final.
I am generally pleased, and I was so happy to work with such a nice art director. Thanks Quinn!
