Artist's Comments

The first unicorn book I was ever really acquainted with was The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle, and his description of a "sea-green unicorn that resembled a deer" always stuck with me. I never understood why everyone pictured unicorns as white horses with spiraling horns...I always imagined a pretty little light-coloured deer with a curved, bone-like horn, a dark mane, and a lion's tail. :D I was a strange child, I imagine.

Did this last October out of some desire to manifest my mental image of a unicorn. Horribly rendered, but I still like the concept, and hope do to a follow-up sometime.

Done in tempera on 9x11 green-toned pastel paper. Clocked at about 4 hours.

What were they thinking when they made M&Ms Minis? Did someone just bite into an M&M and think, "Ya know...I just can't finish this."

I loved the last unicorn movie, I always cried, then got scared of the bull.
