St. Nick Gets in Shape (watercolor, gouache and colored pencil). Andy Singer is a four-armed, six-eyed alien with large horns and powerful jaws. He came from the planet Neptor to observe the earth and make small drawings of everything he sees. His multiple arms enable him to be very prolific and his multiple eyes enable him to see things that most humans are unaware of. If you see him riding his bicycle around town, don’t be intimidated by his appearance—he’s really quite friendly. He drew this month’s cover image from life using watercolor, gouache and colored pencil. He is friends with Saint Nicholas (who is also an alien) and traveled around with him last Christmas. Said Andy, “Nick was getting really fat and his doctor told him he needed to ditch the reindeer and get more exercise . . . so he started delivering Christmas gifts by bicycle.” You can see more of Andy’s work at www.andysinger.com.
