Japan Day Poster Artwork

A few months ago I entered a poster contest for Japan Day in Central Park. I wanted to share my entry with you because I honestly had a lot of fun coming up with a concept and painting the little sailor squirrel on the boat. I think he might make a cute nursery wall print or something of the like... hmmm ;) Anywho - the poster design was supposed to incorporate New York, Central Park and Japanese culture. I figured it should also highlight cherry blossoms.

The Adorable Squirrels of NYC

He (or she?) literally was snacking on a tiny piece of cake. I guess this little one has good taste.

I've been very enamored by a particular group of squirrels that live near our apartment in New York. They are a little daintier and more colorful than your typical city squirrel. There are grey ones, black ones, and cinnamon colored ones living in this colony - and I couldn't tell you my favorite color. They are all pretty cute!

I love the silhouette of a squirrel. It's so lovely.

This time it's just a regular acorn.

This little one really wanted his picture taken. He walked right up to the lens to say hi.

Squirrel in the Snow

I recently had to come up a design for a poster contest - so this character was a natural choice after this week.

Amid all the squirrely excitement, we have a gang of robins that have been hanging out in our courtyard. I love them ;)

What wildlife is in your backyard this time of year?
