Convocation of Pests is a humorous response to the 2015 High Fiber Diet  challenge, Making Our Mark.  This challenge required using neutral colors for 75% of the work and inclusion of a “mark,” as shown in the “bait” drawing the pests in this piece.  For some reason, I always work outside my portrait style of choice when responding to the High Fiber Diet challenges.  Maybe this opens up my creative juices, but I always return to portraits in the interim.
