A pirate's life for Jackson

Ahoy matey!  I was so excited to finally be able to create this pirate piggy for a friend's little boy.  It's been up my sleeve for quite some time now, and I was hoping someone perfect for it would come along.  This little guy's mom originally wanted a Redskins piggy bank (I don't think I could have possibly drawn that Indian dude on a piggy bank!), but I was able to convince her to let me go with pirates for Captain Jack instead.  Little did she know, that was my plan for his first birthday present all along!  I am so excited about the way this little swashbuckler turned out...you scallywags better be too or I'll have you walk the plank.  ARRRRRGH!

Captain Jack's pirate piggy wouldn't be complete without an eye patch and peg leg! 


Had a tough time trying to recreate a more piratey font, so I went with this one instead. 


 Follow the treasure map around the spewing volcano, past the boulders and bones, and around the palm tree to reach yer booty, mate!


Perhaps this ship belongs to One Eyed Willie?
