Hoist the kitten mast! Swab the Lido deck! We’re about to set sail..
Captain Jellybean is the brave captain of Thee Pretty Kitty. Jellybean and her crew search the seas for brightly coloured ribbons and candy. I was inspired by the great textures some of my fellow Scribble Guild mates have been creating, so this week I decided to add a bit of photoshop for extra jazz.
A larger illustrator version of the ship, and her pirate crew is posted over at the Scribble Guild.
