Firedrake replied
Haha..you know I’ve done a sketch of one of these guys with a Lorgnette…how funny!
bdazzled
I love it – reminds me of childrens books and fairytales – carefree times
kreesor
Fantastic!!
georgiegirl
very cool ;D Love it!!! is he playing music or is that a hearing aid? could be both, i guess, depending on the circumstances!!!
Firedrake replied
I think it’s a hearing aide. Though I don’t see why he couldn’t plug his ipod into it.
Brian Towers
Golden suckers….mmmm! Reminds me of lemon lollypops. As a hearing aid wearer I reckon your design is better than all these electronic gizmos. Another monster gem.
Firedrake replied
Thanks! Though I think they’d taste all metallicy.
Valerie Simms
great work love the golden suckers
John Houle
What a great piece Kaitlin. Love the turquoise colour of it and the golden suckers are a nice touch.
I hope there’ll be more to come :D … Maybe even cuttlefish and squid ?
Firedrake replied
Definitely some cuttles and squids! They are fantastic inspiration :)

What can I say, except that this is as fantastically good as all your other pictures. I don’t think you are actually capable of churning out a bad painting ever. I look forward to another year of wonderful Firedrake creations … scary though they may be :)
