Who's child is this???? Huh? This little boy has been reeking
havoc and chaos in my head for days now. Kept asking if he
could go outside. When I released him from my creative head,
all you know what broke loose! His name is Little Ray.
He talks and talks and talks. I thought that if I gave him
a PBJ sandwich he'd shut his mouth, but noooooooooo.
First he left his chocolate fingerprints all over my new
white sofa! Now my cat is missing his left eye and I'm
sure he had something to do with it. He went shopping with
me and we were asked to leave the store y'all! Oh don't let
deem big old blue eyes fool you this one is a trip! Just look
at him standing there lookin' all innocent. You should have
seen what he did with my toothpaste. He is proof that parenting
ain't for punks!!! So here is my Christmas gift to all of you.
Little Ray. Right click all you want.
Merry Christmas

OHHHHH Thank you!!!!
He is a great gift and I am willing to adopt him, I give a damn about my new couch and the cats are old enough to take care for them selfes (hehe).
I thimk I told you before, that I work as an educator with youngsters, and I allways liked the bad boys the most.
Have great day

You are all so very welcome. Merry Christmas Enjoy!!
Oh indeed! Parenting isn't for punks nor drunks. I am a punk and I am drunk. Poor kids! Ah, it's a good thing that humans make mistakes and don't learn their lessons. If they were smart and remember, they would stop having children! Merry Christmas, darling!
I swear I could see two tiny horns hiding underneath that big hat!! Hahahaa... you crack me up each time with your stories, Miss Vee! Now, right click, eh? Don't mind if I do!
Cheers, ladybug!

Little Ray has won my heart! What a wonderful gift of humor that you share with all of us through your creative and artistic offerings! Merry Christmas to you, my dear! :o)
are you sure he doesn't have curly red hair to go with those big blue eyes? Sounds too much like my grandson. He talks from the minute he wakes up until the minute he goes to bed and his little hands get into everything he can touch. Now his favorite thing to say is " I said NO!" yep, he thinks he's the boss. Love, love, love this illustration Vee, sorry bout the kitty's eye. Hope you can get little Ray under control. Maybe a "time-out" would be in order. ;)
Hugs and Merry Christmas!

It sounds to me, like it's a good thing he got out of that creative head of yours... He could wreak some havoc in there!
Sheesh...It must be all those frogs and snails and puppy dog tails he's made of!!! ;)
Lord, I adore you! EVERYONE knows a "Little Ray"...thanks for scooting him along out of your head and into the world-where, I'm sure, he'll be causing a ruckus wherever he goes! xo tara
Wonderful work!! and Merry Christmas!!!

I'm not buying that little innocent look-they're usually the ones that are up to no good!
It's always so inspiring to come and visit, V. You're work just never ceases to blow me away-and your little stories are icing on the cake!
Have a lovely time around the holidays Vanessa and may 2011 be filled with creative awesomeness for you!
Lovely illustration!! I love the cat's tail and nose haha
Happy Holidays! Xo!
Lovely Ray! He is adorable, and his little cat. Have great holidays!
I know whose kid that is - Tom Sawyer's! Check the hat and shirt - hand me downs from Dad. I don't know if the cat is a relative of Mark Twain's cat but you never know. Merry Christmas V, and a very Happy New Year,
xx Gay (in sunny Tasmania)
aww very cool... Merry Christmas to you when it comes!
Well thanks very much, I think he's adorable and I am sure butter wouldn't melt!
Merry Merry Christmas to you tooooooo.
LOL! Love little Ray (but, then, he didn't mess with my cats). Thank you for this, V! You are so amazing. A very, very merry Christmas to you and your family! hugs, C.
Oh those eyes! I think I knew this kid back in Indiana in the 50's. We stole some rhubarb from old man Gleason's yard. When the old man caught us he just gave us a ton of the stuff. The old man's niceness made us feel kind of quilty for trying to steal from him. But anyway Little Ray and I were always getting into some sort of mischief. Merry, Merry!
Ray is a cool cat and his cat is cool too :)
Happy Holidays :)
Ha! This just might be my Asher! It's been so quiet around here, maybe I better go look for him... Would you believe his favorite bear was named Little Ray! It's gotta be him! I'll be right over to pick him up!
Merry Christmas, Vanessa!
Happy Holidays!!! :)
and I love this illustration - what an adorable cat and kid.
Oh dear, dear, dear! The always wonderful Vanessa with another amazing illustration. I hope you have the most wonderful holiday season and Christmas there is to have! It's almost time for me to sign off and take that much needed break and I'll see you on the other side of January 1st. Have a great one!
Something tells me, Lil'Ray has a lot in common with you! Lol! Now have you fallen over hearing from me?!
It's been a long haul, but I'm back! Happy Holidays, you gorgeous doll! See you in the New Year!
Hey V! Just wanted to swing by to wish you and yours a merry Christmas-I'm looking forward to all the little gems you'll be posting in the coming year. Have a wonderful holiday and a productive new year (like I need to tell you that!)
Little Ray is awesome. I love the look on the little cats face. Have a merry christmas.

I'm thinking of you, honey. I think of you every single day. You mean so much to me, and I aspire to be like you, spreading cheer and encouragement and happiness everywhere you go. Good luck with all the packing and the moving. Have yourself the merriest Christmas, surrounded by family and lotsa lotsa love. And hot cocoa. And should it ever get too cold in the east, come out west. You'll always have a room here! Love you more than all the presents in Santa's sleigh!

Little Ray...wowza! He's a gem..thank you for sharing his goings-on cause he sure looks to be a cutie on the outside. I'm sure he's a sweetie on the inside too though. : ) Happy Christmas to you and your family, Nester! I am so blessed to know you and feel so lucky that I can call you friend. I often thank my stars for having people as you in my life..how'd I get to be so lucky?! I hope things are busy, but great in your household.

Thanks so much Nester..I send you my heartfelt hugs to you and look forward to seeing your wonderful work in the new year. Hugs and xoxo!
