Heh, today is one of those “where did that come from” days. I swear my original plan was to draw a baby (co-worker just gave birth, don’t get your hopes up Mom). This just popped out (owch, unintentional pun).

I like my little mutton-chopped gnome.

One of my friends in New Zealand asked me what kind of pictures I wanted for the Pic of the Week contest. She started rattling off a bunch of indigenous species, most of which I recognized. Pukeko, however, left me without a clue. So, of course. I needed to look it up.

Cool lookin’ bird.
