Here’s the story: I’ve decided to create a series of images involving ultimately eight child characters (five boys and three girls). These child characters will live in the same neighborhood, and decided to form their own group named “The Gang of 8.” Their mascot, a friendly purple octopus named Fred. Through this, and future images, The Gang of 8 will go on a series of adventures – both real and imaginary. This piece is an example of an imaginary adventure where three of the gang take out their jet/rocket-powered wagons out for a spin. The reality here is that they are probably racing their wagons down a grassy hill. This is the second of the series (the first being my previous piece “Petal Power”). I have two more ideas in mind, and will post those when complete. This series will be available for licensing… any takers?
