The Chad Frye - Illustration GuyThere’s just something about an alligator that makes me think he can be a dapper waiter, serving up a delectable dish to his deserving customers.
That reminds me, today is Memorial Day here in the States. Anyone planning a BBQ?
When a balloon wins the affection of a child’s heart, beware of the scorned cat.

There are not very many types of relationships stronger than the sacred bond between a cowboy and his horse. I’m just glad that my pencil was able to capture the bliss.
Here is the final illustration I created for an unreleased special feature for the Paddington 2 Blu-ray, and it just so happens to be my favorite of the project.
This piece reminds me of an old Sunday school song I used to sing as a little kid “Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world…” which was itself inspired by Matthew 19:14 in the Bible, “but Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.'” This is kind of appropriate considering that in just this past week was Good Friday and Easter, the time of year traditionally honored by Christians as the day Christ made the ultimate sacrifice for mankind, and lived again for us to tell about it.
Hope that you have enjoyed seeing, this past week, my previously unrevealed set of drawings created for the Paddington 2 project. My sincere thanks to Constantine Nasr, the producer of those special features, for inviting me to be a part of it. It was a great project of which to be a part.
Here’s the third installment of my drawings created last year for an unrealized special feature for the Blu-ray of Paddington 2. Hopefully they blend just the right about of cuteness and charm in an attempt to illustrate good manners, which was their intent as they accompanied narration in the short film.
Welcome to the second day of posts of some pencil illustrations I did last year for use on the Paddington 2 Blu-ray special features, that ultimately did not get used.
All the drawings were illustrating some point of politeness. I really liked the one of the boy offering his seat to an older lady on the subway (or was it a bus?) – something rare among even grown men these days. However, even the more simple drawings here were created with as much care for charm and simplicity to get the points across in the unused film.
