I thought you might enjoy some Total Turtle Fan-art...

The mastermind at Total-Turtle Tea Trolley asked if I would make some cool turtle drawings for his site. I was charmed and delighted to comply with my artistic offerings:








Turtle shells are a real pain to draw, but I enjoyed my art-deco swanky shell with the top hat. Heh...

Super cute! Why does he have a dust ruffle?

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Because all the Tea-Trolley Turtles have them as part of their little uniforms. They also always have fun hats:)

Very nice!

I like your icon! How perfect!

[ravengirl.livejournal.com]

These are cool! I don't think I've ever seen your drawings before. Very good and I really like the art deco-y shell, too!

I used to do inkwork waaaaay more often, before my life got so full of yarns and spinning. I'm trying to bring that back a bit. *is proud*

Nice pics!!! I like the one with the fez...

I think I must do more turtles with fezzes. There's just something so charming about them!

I love these! You need to post your drawrings more often. :)

Before, I didn't have the tech. Then my creative stuff got dragged off by the yarny demons. I'm trying to get a lot of my drawing chops back, so I think there should be more drawings coming soon!

Amazing.

If these drawings don't get people interested in the Total Turtle Tea Trolley, I don't know what will.

And, yes, the dust ruffles and hats are part of the Tea Turtles' ordinary apparel. They wouldn't be dressed without them.

I do wonder what they wear when they're not off with the trolley, having adventures. Maybe little smoking jackets to go with the fezzes while their dust-ruffles are in the wash?

I always pictured them au naturel when they weren't trolleying.

They wear aprons and toques when they're fixing food for the next day's Trolley runs. When they have off time, they wax and buff each others' shells with Turtle Wax, hang out by the lily pad behind TTTT HQ (in the warmer months), fix each other little omelettes, paint, and tutor Sedgwick, the sixth and youngest Tea Turtle. He's working on his Elementary School Equivalency Exam.

But in the winter months, smoking jackets while they sit by the fire sound fabulous.

(I am turning this into a post, BTW.)

Please do!

Ever considered doing a kids book? A little turtle story and a few pictures like this might be a winner.

Mmmmmmmmaybe! I think Jonathan should definitely do this thing:)
