Eggs. I would like to say that these eggs were inspired by our impending spring (no, really… it’s coming, right?), but, truthfully, I started an egg drawing that this one evolved from while I was actually in labour last month and contemplating all things reproductive. I had eggs on the brain again this week as I wondered if Cadbury Creme Eggs are in the stores for Easter yet.

In fact, it’s weirding me out a bit that this four-fingered stranger has his hand on Doodle’s head like that.
Let the regular updates resume! Hopefully…
