Last week was a little crazy. I was playing catch up as the Illustrator Coordinator, I got some freelance work, and I had an illustration deadline for Matt.

This week I’m getting back to the blog and my own illustration projects.

One of the snacks Lucien has regularly is dried pineapples. He usually has one of these when we go to the zoo and see three kinds of porcupines.

Including prehensile-tailed porcupines, here is a picture of our zoo’s new baby at 2 days old.

It was only natural that he combined the two words. Now whenever he asks for a pineapple he asks for a porcupineapple.

I have been wanting to draw this critter for over a month. I kept buying pineapples for reference but, before I would get to draw they would need to be cut up before going bad! Today things finally came together.

Quote Quiz: “I wonder if he is using the same wind we are using.”
