New U

I love my animal alphabet prints.

And over time I've been working on making some additional animal alphabet prints for certain letters. One letter I felt really needed a second letter was U. My original print is "U is for Unicorn." This animal is a little girly, so I decided I needed a second animal for the letter U.

I went with Urchin:

Both letter U's available in my shop.

What do you think? I think he's pretty darn cute myself!

The Animal Alphabet

I love my animal alphabet print series.

It was so much fun to draw out and color the last summer that we spent in our apartment.

And every now and again a customer will ask me about switching out an animal or reworking the colors to fit the decor of their child's bedroom/playroom etc. I am always excited about these requests because I really enjoy seeing how the prints look in new color combinations, or with the different animals in my shop.

This latest request was no objection.

I LOVE the colors requested for the "Lucas" set of letters, and Lucas' mom and dad also asked me if I could switch out a couple of the more girly animals (namely, the unicorn!) for something a bit more 'ferocious,' as they put it :)

Now, I am no good at making ferocious animals, and I tend to turn all that is mean or nasty looking into cute and adorable, but I think the Urchin came out pretty cool!

They also had me change the cow out for my 'Under the Sea-Crab' and the Sheep out for my 'Barnyard - Squirrel.' All in all I think it will look wonderful in a little boy's room, and I think I might make the Urchin a permanent feature in my shop!
