Ogden paid no heed to his mom as she warned him his mouth would “stay that way” if he kept making goofy faces.

He is most definitely one of your best characters! He looks so cute and goofy ‘wide-mouthed’!
😀
Really like the soft colouring on this one too.

What a cute little guy. I looked back through your other illustrations – you have a very clear way of showing a story through your artwork. Well done!
May 20, 2008 at 6:03 am
I LOVE him!
May 20, 2008 at 6:06 am

AHHH!!!! Too much!! This is too much Linda!!
Love it …. It’s got the perfect ingredients for me.. cuteness, cleverness and humor!
I want to see this everyday, I want to wake up and see it first thing in the morning. It makes me so happy :o)

So hilarious!!! Great art work and design. 🙂
May 20, 2008 at 10:06 am
It was worth the wait!! (I’ve been checking every day. No pressure.)
You’re one of 2 people who can actually elicit a belly laugh from me 😀
I can hear him saying “nanner nanner nanner”
May 20, 2008 at 10:07 am
That’s so funny. Great Character.
gigi :O)

You know… he won’t get too many princesses coming to call either!
He needs a good tongue lashing!
May 20, 2008 at 10:14 am
Okay, I had to come back to tell you that I pulled my mouth open to see if “nanner” would come out sounding different with one’s lips in that manner. I could barely stretch my mouth…but not only that, I split my lip trying!! I only realized it when I tasted a faint hint of blood.
My husband is on the floor. Still. ten minutes later, I swear.

Nice lovely soft colors. And the pink in the water is interesting, its like the flowers are reflected/underwater.

Hey, thanks everyone!!! Glad y’all are still coming by, even though I’ve been slacking the past week. Thank you sooo much!
Tom, I knooooww! His mom forgot to mention the possible lack of princess visits.
Laurel, your’e so funny! Better put some salve on that lip, hee hee.

this is AWESOME. and i am in love with the color palette
May 20, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Would u believe I was gonna do a frog this time but I am really not motivated actually to do anything. So we will see. Did u know the frog is an endangered species? Anyhoo, the Illo is great and the colors too.
May 20, 2008 at 1:44 pm
What a wonderful illustration. I love your details (ripples, reflection, little fly) and your coloring is fantastic. You scan and color in photoshop, right?
May 20, 2008 at 2:53 pm
haha, love it! i was just talking to my husband this morning about this! my gma used to tell me angels ‘would freeze my face like that’ if i made a terrible face! yikes!
May 20, 2008 at 3:10 pm
Thanks Halloweenville! Good to see you, haven’t seen you in a while!
Artsea Fartsea, thanks, and I know, it’s crazy how many species of frogs are endangered. I can’t imagine a world without frogs!
Kelly, thanks so much and yes, I sketch in pencil, scan and colorize in Photoshop. Lately I’ve been using the brushes I downloaded from http://pelicanosypescados.blogspot.com/2008/03/artistic-brushes-para-photoshop-free.html and playing around with making my own. It’s fun!
May 20, 2008 at 3:13 pm
J. Rose, that’s so cute. I used to love crossing my eyes for fun, and my dad told me they would freeze that way. Mostly, though, it just gave me a headache, hee hee.
May 20, 2008 at 3:41 pm
This is perfect!! It made me smile the second I looked at it. I love the way he is holding his mouth…great job.
May 20, 2008 at 5:10 pm
A best answer for “Why frogs got big mouth”! Hilarious illustration.
May 20, 2008 at 7:58 pm
This is too cool. And that he stretches his wide mouth even wider is even cooler.
May 20, 2008 at 8:12 pm
VERY FUNNY!!! Made me laugh, the frog’s character is awesome!
May 20, 2008 at 8:51 pm
Thats one really stretchy frog mouth!! That look of his….hahahah!!
May 20, 2008 at 11:24 pm
I love him.
I want to make him really big and hang him on my wall.
He’s so dare cute!
May 21, 2008 at 9:01 am
One of the greatest ilustrations that I ever seen here!
May 21, 2008 at 10:25 am
Ha!!! I love this! The coloring on the frog and the lily pad is especially nice.
I see he’s been using the Crest Whitestrips. 😛
May 21, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Ribbit Ribbit! That means cute in Ffrog!
May 21, 2008 at 3:09 pm

Leave it up to you to come up with something…umm…different. 🙂 Very cute. And I really like what you do with textures.
May 22, 2008 at 10:23 pm
It is a very pretty frog, I like the colors. Did you paint in watercolor or digitally painted. It is very nice piece, beautifully done.
Thanks for dropping by and comments.
