monster


It's all in how you look at it. In Hawaii gekkos are good luck, in Jeddah my students have vacated class rooms and refused to come back because a gekko had wandered in from the garden. Desert gekkos are brown and tan.
These are the gekko children that inhabit my house and only come down from the ceiling to hide small items. Like cell phones.

So that's what they are....those cell phone hiding creatures! In my house they do keys too.

love the grey and black and the whites of their eyes

yes, i love the use of black and grey in this too - i'm guessing it's quite difficult to just use those colours but you've done a brilliant illustration. great story too!

thanks. I have a thing for comic book art - but I can't do it. I started out with an idea for black and white, and got interested in the layers of grey.

I like very much that these guys don't care which way is up. And they have great toes.

Great illustration and story. I love geckos! Though I admit I'd be startled if one came out of my phone...
