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!
