I haven’t really done very much drawing in my sketchbook over the last several months, but I did manage to kick out this page of animals yesterday as a summer storm blew through our area.

Love the Ostrich,,,, I have been stealing your one eye bigger look and I love the result. Everything is funny when the eyes dont match..
…that’s kind of an industry standard for goofy looking eyes. Look at some of your favorite animated movies, they all do it.
Luv ya work as usual Dennis!!!
What a great looking zoo/farm! You have that neat ability of making those critters look like yours and yours alone. I’d know a “Dennis Jones” creature anywhere!
They are great!!! Congrats!!!
Yours just seem to pop though, i always get a kick out of your work.
I have to ask, do you have any animal photos to refer to, or does it all come from the imagination?
Stan, the bulk of what I do comes from my imagination mainly because it’s too much trouble to run down reference photos plus it’s really hard to find a good picture of a dog wearing a business suit smoking a pipe. With that being said, for this particular sketch page I Googled “funny looking animals”, a page full of photos popped up and I drew the ones that I thought were most interesting.
I guess you could call them “caricreatures”. So much better than illustrations that are slavishly adherent to photos. I’m so glad I discovered your work. You’re a great inspiration!
