Creature in the Cave

Here are the gnomes again. They seem to be having a difference of opinion as to whether or not to slay the savage fiend they have cornered.

And here are some more mushroom images:

Gnomes and Mushrooms

Took a lot longer than I would've liked, but here's another gnome doodle. I'm starting to like these guys, they're evolving a bit. And here are a few gnomeless mushroom photos that I took around Minneapolis. I've photographed quite a few fungi lately, and I rarely run into the same species. Really fascinating little characters!

Little Gnomes

I had a lot of fun drawing this, and a lot of fun going out in the woods to take the photo. I also stumbled upon this little Bold Jumping Spider (Phidippus audax), he was pretty funny. I love jumping spiders. He kept attacking the camera, jumping at the lens. Fearless little guy. I got him right before he hopped:


Acting tough. I had a big female Phidippus audax as a pet for a few weeks a couple years ago. She took down crickets bigger than her...

And then, THIS happened...

Couldn't ask for anything cooler. I let em go outside to terrorize some aphids or something.

Anyway, I'll probably be making some more gnome pictures, hope you dig em. I like this one enough; I think they can be a lot cooler though. More to come.
