Thanks, but no thanks!

I decided to use this illustration for the SCBWI "Thanks, but no thanks" contest. I'm pretty happy with the turkeys, and I like the bugs, but the colors turned out a little warmer than I had imagined. Ah well, live and learn.

Spring Cleaning

The latest SCBWI theme is Spring Cleaning.... "In a spring cleaning frenzy, the star of your story finally reaches the last closet. It hasn't been opened in a long, long time, and when the door is thrown wide...WHAT'S INSIDE? Send us an illustration of your most imaginative spring cleaning surprise. Really be creative in setting the scene: Where is this closet? Is your character a person? An animal? An alien? Is the surprise scary? Funny? Turn the idea of a long-forgotten closet on its head."

This is what I came up with... thanks Gill, for giving my creativity a jumpstart!
