If that's what you're looking for, then Ryan Berkley is your man. He draws quirky portraits of animals dressed up in their finest, and sells them through his Etsy shop, Berkley Illustration. I love his work, which I received as a Christmas present from my husband.
There's Mr. & Mrs. Rabbit, and their friend Mr. Goat, who's eating his tie. For some reason I thought the goat resembled an old PA Dutchie farmer, like the many who live in our area.
And how about this guy, a John Wayne look-a-like perhaps? I just love a T-Rex in a country-western shirt.
Ryan also illustrates unusual animal antics, like the awards ceremony below.
Best Ever (limited edition)
At $15, his 8x10 prints are so reasonable. Wouldn't you like to have an unique piece of art like this hanging in your home? Believe me, you won't need to pull out those cheesy conversation starter cards at your next dinner party.

I love all of his works, but esp. the Painted Turtle w/ the Fez, the Gorilla, and the T-Rex! :) thanks!
I swear, we must have been sisters in another life. I have a set of Berkley squirrel friends still waiting to be framed...
If I won, I would be hard-pressed to decide between the Blue Jay and the Raccoon.

Oh, don't you just love Berkley Illustration? Talk about talent!
I was fortunate enough to win a print awhile ago and BoyX insisted on picking the prize. He chose the Raccoon which now graces his bedroom wall.
And wouldn't you know it? My favorite was the goat you selected. Who knew?
Right now, I'm crushin' on
A Romp in the Courtyard. Don't you think that alligator resembles me?
I'd love the raccoon for my kindergarten classroom. He would be Chester and the kids can talk to him when they are missing Mom.

That's a tough one...there are so many great pictures! I love the Zombie designs and the "Best of", but those probably aren't options. Of the portraits, I like the Polar Bear and Racoon, but for some reason that Bat in a pink suit keeps grabbing my attention.

The Praying Mantis tickled my funnybone. :) But for my walls, I'd love to have the Tiger print.
I'd have to say my favorite would be the Beach Zombie print, mostly because I'm a huge fan of zombie films but also because the print itself has great style and sense of humor -- it's hilarious to see a zombie in a playful beach scene, wearing a suit no less. Love it! Thanks for the giveaway!
