Most people hate Valentine’s Day. As well they probably should, it’s a silly day made up to sell cards and chocolates and stuff. But sometimes that’s okay. Especially since here, in the dead of winter, I get seasonal affection disorder. Most people get the other sort of SAD (seasonal affected disorder), which I also get. I’m pretty sure my SAD is a reaction to the first sort. Whatever it is, around this time of the year, I get an overwhelming urge to draw/paint adorable small furry creatures. Sometimes they have scales or feathers instead of fur, but they’re almost always adorable and cute. Valentine’s day brings out the worst of this because I feel the pull to draw small furry creatures In LOVE! All twitterpated and disney-fied.
So today I have for you adorable squirrels (actually, more correctly, adorable squirrely butts). Tomorrow? Who KNOWS. Possibly baby rhinos, or camels, or frilled lizards. Very likely there will be more squirrels (I like squirrels), possibly even these squirrels in the aftermath of their peanut buttery indulgence (but who didn’t eat peanut butter from the jar at some point in college?? definitely not me…)
