And Now Meet Gritta...

Earlier, I introduced Gritty, a character I draw for Grit Magazine. Now I would like you to meet Gritta, Gritty's sweetheart!


Gritta is a bit more fashion conscious than Gritty. This was for an article about rainwear:


Sometimes Gritty gets a little carried away...


But they both love a good campfire:



And they also like to dress up as other characters:



Thank you for looking! Enjoy!

Meet Gritty

In this post I would like to introduce a character that I draw for Grit Magazine, Gritty! I have been drawing Gritty since 2007, when he first appeared in an article about backing trailers. He has evolved a lot since then. He started out as not much more than a stick character and became what you see below;


This drawing was for an article about Colonial livestock breeds. Gritty has found himself in a lot of situations. Here he is snorkeling:


And hunting:



Sometimes I draw Gritty as other characters. Here he is as "Griteye":


A seed scientist:



And Ol' Doc Gritty:


In the last eight years, I have drawn Gritty hundreds of times. I will be sharing more in future entries. Enjoy!
