Those who have followed Arathi Menon’s wonderful weekly series Nothing Beastly About It would be familiar with my drawings. She’s been writing this blog for more than 18 months and I’ve been illustrating it for about that long, too. Interestingly, we’ve never run out of animals.
Here’s a bunch of them from this fabulous bestiary. You must read the stories first, though. They’re all here at her blog.
Thanks for following, and keep coming back, for this bestiary is getting bigger.
Vanity, thy name is a spider
The crow brings rain
The parrot who sang. Badly.
Dung’s the word
The kangaroo who had a pocketful of joey
A new year parable
Songbird sings for love
A cassowary on the run
The pelican’s holdall
The polar bear’s hot suit
The woodpecker that did drugs
The fly that sucked
This lion is really hungry
Praying and preying.
An electric eel is actually a knife-fish. Sharp, eh?
A turtle raises a storm
The Orca who learned about friendship the hard way
Bag this crocodile
The fashionista poodle
Swans in love
The vulture who was taken in by beauty
The penguins that changed society
Laughaholic hyena
The sneezing dragon
Size up this tiger
The ladybird who hitchhiked
The depressed boar
The cat says grace
Croak, croak
Assisted suicide wasn’t really this eagle’s thing
A leopard who loved connecting the dots
A suicidal zebra
The python who was contrarian
Portrait of the artist as a young pig.
Stick your neck in
When a platypus pees
Beestung by love
Glow in the dark
Got blood? Donate freely to the vampire bat
A silverfish who loved words
Raising a skunk stink
A reindeer takes good advice
Blue whale blows mantas away
Squirt some ink, will you?
Necking giraffes
A tale of separation anxiety
The unicorn is all magic
A sad gorilla
The quick brown fox
Color me bad
A piranha that ate its parents
Bloodthirsty is this mosquito
Eager beaver
The scorpion who feared his tail
