The sun has started to shine here and it has done wonders for morale! What a dreary and unpleasant winter! I am ready to see some green!...

If it isn't grass it may as well be the green fairy! Here is an illustration I made for Pernod Absinthe's "The Creator of...Art Contest." The only rule was to include the year the company was formed; 1805. All I could think of was Nicole Kidman and Moulin Rouge, so I went for a fairly classical green fairy for my entry. It is acrylic paint with pencil and digital. They have been announcing the finalists this week in the contest, and so far not me, so I figured I would share the drawing with you anyway :)
