When I'm not working on WooWork.com, I'm saying yes to YES Mag
: The Science Magazine for Adventurous Minds. Since 2006, the
YES Mag team has kindly invited me to draw for each educational issue.
In the Nov/Dec 09 issue, I drew a piece titled "Urban Dining", about the eating habits of city animals:

An urban duo included a fox and a kitty-in-a-cone:

Last month, I crocheted an amigurumi version of this edible cat:

Another piece I drew (in the Mar/Apr 09 issue) was titled "Lost", which detailed the body language of dogs:

Jim the dog was the star:

I crocheted Jim too. He'll have to express his body language through a cone body:

Over the holidays, I mailed both Cone Critters to the
YES Mag team as gifts. Everyone seemed to enjoy the fuzzy treats.
I hope you enjoy ice-cream in the winter too!
Ruff Ruff! Meow Meow!*
