The day sleeper worked the night shift and took cat naps with his goldfish.

Sometimes, independence is as simple as learning how to make your own PB & J.

This is the first thing that popped into my head to Illustrate for janetfelts's wonderful Tiny Story.

I guess it's a drawer and not a "corner" but it still works, right?

Process: Watercolor and colored pencils illustration on clayboard, details scratched out with scratchboard tools, scanned in, made some digital touch-ups and then added the text.

"I can't believe how uncivilized the wolves are in these stories."

I really love Macksmalachi's tiny story "the other sister (tiny story remix)". Here's a slightly different take on what was originally intended.

Some call it narcissism, some call it self-acceptance.

I can, upon request, upload the paper I used to draw on for use as a texture, as well as a clean, black and white version of the drawing.

An illustration for aimeecanto's tiny story 'Silence!'

'He wanted to scream to the world how much he loved her, but they were at the library, so he whispered.'

The way I pictured it with them hiding behind a book and being surrounded by books, I figured that it may as well be in a Library of Tiny Stories.

She is paid to smile at me...but I pretend she's off-duty.

EDIT: V2 is better. :3

and look, it can also be a bookmark!

"4 more?"

Pen, Ink & marker illustration on clay-board, then scratch-board techniques to carve out detail, scanned in and digitally finished.

Question: Do you think this would be stronger if I had 1 or 2 balloons floating away in the background, plus 1 or 2 strings and popped pieces on the ground? Thoughts?

An illustration I drew, but it needs a tiny story. 

Another illustration for Wirrow's tiny story,

The tiny story reminds me of when you think someone has just called out your name, or even whispered it, but no one has. I'd like to think it's little ghosts just trying to say 'hey'.

Thanks a lot for featuring and writing tiny-stories! I love it!

She closed her eyes to avoid losing her head, but it was too late.

I thought this might make a really great chorus to a song, or else a tiny story.

(I picture it repeated with long gaps between lines, so the meaning changes each time more is added to the phrase — starting negative, moving to ambivalent, getting nearly nihilistic, but then ending with the hint of redemption. (e.g. "I'm tired." I'm tired of being tired." I'm tired of being tired of being tired." "I'm tired of being tired of being tired of being."))

I really wish I could draw...any takers? I'd love to have a little female figure in the left hand corner, with her back to the viewer, looking up at a handsome moon in the top right hand corner! Oh...how I wish I could draw :(

Jealous Stars illustration from ubespidermonkey's Tiny Story:

'Stars are jealous of city lights.

So once in a while, they cut the power.'

"I'm just saying, it would be nice to be held once in awhile"
