Groundhog Day 2014

Happy Groundhog Day! Well kinda: it seems Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning, predicting 6 MORE weeks of winter.

It's been a merciless winter for so many in the central states and a bitter one for us in the northeast so we could have all done with an early release. 

Even the groundhog has had enough of the cold (apparently to no avail):

Thanks for joining me once again for Groundhog Day.

Groundhog Day 2013

Welcome to Groundhog's Day! Again. Feels like it was only yesterday that the groundhog last checked the weather for us. This year Phil has a positive outlook, regardless of what he does or doesn't see when he climbs out of his hole. And what he saw was: No Shadow! That means it'll be an early spring!

For 2013, I decided to create 2 illustrations so I'd be ready for whatever the outcome. The alternate version is below.

Oh- and go watch the movie!

I’ve been doing a lot of character development lately and from time to time I’ll be displaying on my blog new designs. Sometimes they’ll be black and white and sketchy and other times full color and finished. If you want to see more from this series, just click the “characters”, tag at the bottom of this post. You can also see a collection of characters in my Behance portfolio or on my website.

Groundhog Day 2012

Happy Groundhog's Day! 

What did you get me?

Another installment of my yearly Groundhog Day celebration. I've been creating illustrations and cards for Groundhog Day since 1992 (I skipped a couple of years somewhere in there) and this time I show what it would be like for either outcome.

Excuse me- I have to go rent Groundhog Day, the movie, and watch it over and over and over...
