I picked up an illo I did for a doodle book for Buster Books but layered in a watercolor wash just for fun. I think this guy was my favorite out of the book series, and I’m thinking the hidden inspiration was all that Beechnut Fruit Stripe gum I gnawed on as a kid.
If you are old enough to remember this stuff (before it was super-sized and repackaged), check out the old commercials on youtube–every line of the jingle magically comes back to you.

Cool zebra! They say you can tell a zebra by his stripes, and he’s certainly an individual character.
Yes! And OMG FRUIT STRIPE!! I loved that stuff.
I LOVED fruit stripe gum. Great character design!
