It's Complicated!

it's complicated and…

But not everything is complicated. Life doesn't need to be complicated. Does it??

This pair: not complicated!

This guy: same, very uncomplicated

Not so cute AND he wants some of the action…

The Philosophers

from the sketchbook this morning:

By far, pride of place must go to the prolific French croco-designer and alli-strator Alain Lachartre of Vue sur la ville & Miter Brown. I copied this image from his facebook gallery. In this secret place reside a great many bizarre and wonderful crocodile confections.
