    What better way to get into the springtime spirit than with two cute kissing bees? This marks week one of my 52-week drawing challenge. I started planning for this earlier in the month when I was in a bit of a Valentines Day mood. It’s actually my second bee illustration in this style (You can see the first one here.) and I’m starting to really feel like I could happily come up with many more.

    UPDATE: My wife pointed out that I accidentally gave the bees and even the ladybug eight legs instead of six! This is the sort of thing I usually am very careful about (my parents were scientists) so of course I had to make some quick edits. Happy, everyone now has the correct number of appendages! You can see horrible spider-bee hybrid monsters in the progress image above.

    So, what is a Hut Trip Hit List? Turns out it’s a list of the six kinds of people you want to have with you when going on a weekend ski trip in a yurt. I can’t help but notice that “Illustrator” did not make the cut but, if my own skiing skills are any indication, that’s almost certainly for the best. Still, I’m sure I would have a lot of fun camping out in a yurt and sketching the breathtaking views of snow-covered mountains.
