"the crow and the fox" - aesop's fables
ink on rice paper, additional color in photoshop

in the fable, a crow has found a piece of cheese and has retired to a branch to eat it, when a fox approaches. the fox, wanting the cheese for himself, flatters the crow, calling it beautiful and "the king of birds". finally the fox requests that the crow sing for him. its ego inflated by all the flattery, the crow begins to caw. when it opens its beak, the cheese falls and is devoured by the fox.

the moral of the fable is "beware of flatterers."

gluttony
graphite on paper, digitally colored in photoshop

this is a humorous take on one of the seven deadly sins: gluttony. the godzilla-like cupcake is attacking a city and squeezing hearts into oblivion
