Completely almost literally at the last possible moment, this is a birthday picture I did for Randy Fox (who, incidentally, is the driving force behind the Funday Pawpet Show which I participate in). As his birthday happens to fall on the 4th of July, a big combined birthday/fireworks party was held by friends.

I got this picture to Randy literally as he was just getting ready to leave the party and start heading home. The party still went on for hours afterwards, though, so I didn't entirely miss out. This does contribute to what I feel was a very rushed look to this image (not to mention I was experimenting with value/shading techniques with this), but he seemed to like it, and that's what I suppose is the most important thing.
