"Seed, seed, grow!"One of the unique abilities we all have is to grow and transform ourselves at any time, consciously or unconciously. That was the theme behind this little guy for the recipient of the T-shirt with him on it.
~ from the song, "Spark", by the Church from their album, "Starfish".
Here is the original sketch. I first tried to make the face part of the leaf shape, but it was looking too alien. So I took the more direct approach with the mouth and eyes. Looking at this with fresh eyes again I wish I had added more form to the seed pod with the shading. It looks a little flat.
As with the drawing of the Owl and Pussycat this was a pencil sketch converted into vector format via Inkscape. It was printed on a white T-shirt with no blue gradient.
Here's a desktop image (1200 px x 1024 px) for you to brighten your day with.

Delightful - love how he's climbing out of the seed.
Lovely, absolutely marvellous work! Excellent!
That leaf is really enjoying that sunlight! He can't wait to get up. Very optimistic feel.
