Introducing Lenny the Lichen!
This cute woodland creature was inspired by a playful doodle I sketched some time ago. Dressed in a red polka-dotted mushroom hat, cozy overalls, and a cape to fend off the autumn chill,
Lenny enjoys nothing more than snoozing in piles of fallen leaves and splashing in muddy puddles.
