"Prickly People" is a series of illustrations of sassy people that have been combined to create a repeat pattern, but can also stand alone as individual prints. I had a lot of fun sketching different "prickly" expressions and deciding which ones would made the final cut. I created a kind of faux-watercolor effect I have used in many of my digital illustrations. (Possible thanks to the great Kyle T. Webster brushes that are now included with Photoshop Creative Cloud.)
