It is a good idea, apparently, to say Rabbits, Rabbits on the first day of the month. Unfortunately, it should be the very first thing that you utter, which I didn't manage (not to give the impression that I've said anything more sophisticated in the past couple of hours).

Anyway, Rabbits, Rabbits everybody. And Happy Easter. I drew some bunnies for my family on the weekend, and made a very hasty scan of them before they were separated for individual cards. At top, you can see small tufts and toenails belonging, no doubt, to a Flemish Giant.

For other great beasts, have a look at these drawings by Mirico Machiko, who is the artist that I can't get out of my head at the moment*. (Actually, I thought there was a ferocious rabbit among these animal portraits but perhaps I imagined it).
