This didn’t technically start as an online illustration topic, as the parrots were specifically created for Christmas present purposes. The outcome, however, was still a set of variously authored parrot-related pictures, so I figure it counts. As always, see below for the rest.
Mr. Krook hails from the novel Bleak House as an alcoholic illiterate hoarder of documents, whose claim to fame is one of the most random deaths in the works of Charles Dickens — spontaneous combustion.

Well, it’s that time again. The group topic returns, this time with one of our most specific categories to date, and with more participants than ever.
Head off to the links below to see our cabal of contributors’ takes on Tom, one of the lesser-illustrated characters in Tolkien lore.
So here’s my illustration for our latest group topic, which has the largest number of participants to date—five! We’re hoping to start doing this a bit more often again, possibly focusing on one or two lesser-illustrated Tolkien characters in the near future.

So, I get to be efficient here. Not only is mermaid our current topic for Barefoot Kraken, but it also fits in nicely with this week’s Illustration Friday topic, “Tales and Legends”.
It’s time for another edition of Barefoot Kraken, now with 50% more artist!
After a bit of time off, we return with the topic of silverfish (from Jessica). Caleb will be joining us for this one, and if he turns out to be a consistent contributor, we may have to come up with a new name… Barefoot Kraken of Westerness comes to mind. Though if anyone has any other less complicated ideas, let us know.
Anyway, above you may see the Lepisma saccharina performing that most important of animal rites, growing to gigantic proportions and climbing a prominent landmark.
