Well little Johnny, sisters can teach you the facts of life. Also what to know about real or fake critters out there. Yeppa I do believe its the mother load. Share with family and friends. Great story, love Johnny and his hoard of acorns!! Thanks Mark.

Isn't he a cutie pie! I love his expression, you really did a great job at portraying his excitement. The character is endearing and loveable and all the detail you put into each of those acorns and the greenery in the background is amazing. Congrats on it being used in FanStory.

These little figures feel alive, almost as if they're about to step out of the page and continue their adventures. The beauty of your art lies in its ability to make people smile instantlyâ€"it carries such joy and innocence. Super work. Here are my first six for the week. Cheers, bro!
