Log number 5 from http://www.cflar.org/casinonight/kittylog5.html :

"Dear log,

Met a new friend out on the beach named Gull. He told me that I was surfing in his territory and that the beach was for 'locals only'. I told him that wanted to become local, though, so I think he's going to help me! I figured it'd be hard to learn from a flier about surfing, but when he told me he had seen Kelly Slater surfing, I got really excited. He said he'd teach me some of the stuff he saw.

For a creature with short legs that has never surfed, he sure knows a lot...

And I'm getting better!

This one was done very late in the series of pieces that I did. Usually I prefer to do water and backgrounds by hand, but water like that is so tough to replicate... I ended up taking a photo and editing it to meet my needs instead. I'm actually happy with the results :)

Gull was a character made up before this drawing, but I wanted a drawing showing the characters side by side, so this was done. He's supposed to be a little friend and teacher to Kitty. Basically someone for the little guy to play off of.
