"Dang it... only 5 sales today..." Jafar sighed, walking back home in his rags with Iago on his shoulder.

"We'll get more someday, Jafar!" Iago reassured, rubbing against his owners face

"Maybe..." He sighed, entering his little hut

"Mama.. I'm home!" He called out, holding his bag of coins

"Took you long enough--" Jessica said before noticing the bag of coins. "Oh, my sweet bunny!" She walked over, cupping his face

"U-Umm..." He held the coins to his chest

Jessica's smile faltered slightly. "What's the matter, Bunny?" She asked in a fake, concerned voice

"I-I... only got five sales today..." Jafar mumbled

Jessica's face turned angry. "What about ten? You said you'd get ten, you absolute disappointment!"

Iago flew up once Jessica slapped Jafar, leaving a red mark across his face.

His breath hitched, tears welling up in his eyes as he put his hand on his cheek, dropping the bag on the floor

Jessica scoffed, picking up the coins "There won't be any dinner for you, OR your useless bird!" Jessica walked away

Jafar sniffed and ran to his room, Iago not too far behind. Jafar went into his room, closing the door. Some hair was in his face as he went face first in the bed

Iago nudged his shoulder and crowed

"I'm a failure, Iago... this is useless... once *I* rule the world, things will be different." He turned to his side, facing his bird.

"Awh, cheer up, Jafar! Everything will turn out swimmingly!" Iago said, placing his beak on Jafar's forehead

"Hm.. thanks, Iago. But still... this is useless."

Iago hummed before smirking softly "Hey, I have an idea that can cheer you right up!"

Jafar raised a brow, sitting up. "How?"

Iago flew up on Jafar's lap, nuzzling his beak into the humans stomach

"Eep-! I-Iahahahago!" Jafar giggled, curling his legs up.

Iago nibbled and nuzzled Jafar's stomach more

"Noho-! Dohohohon't tihickle me!" He covered his face as it reddened

"I will and shall!"

"Eheheek-! Stahap-! Nooohoho!"

Iago flew up, nuzzling his neck now

"AHA-! WahahaHAHAHAIT! Why theheheHEHEHEHERE?!" Jafar held onto his bird gently, scrunching up his shoulders

"Not until you feel better!" Iago blew a tiny raspberry

"EHEHE NOOHO! STAHAHA!" Jafar cackled, his hair getting even more messy

Iago used his wings to brush against Jafar's ribs

"Oho my gOHOHOHOHOD! Whyhyhy the FEHEHEHEHEHEHEATHehehehehers?!" He squeaked, shaking his head

"Because!"

"NAHAHAHAT AN AHAHAHAhahahanswer!!"

Iago gasped "You dare tell *me* that I don't give proper answers?"

"YEHEHEHEHEHES!!"

Iago chuckled before flying down, nuzzling Jafar's belly button

"NOOOHOHOHO!- WAHAHAIT-- NAHA! NAHAHAHAT THEHEHEHERE!"

"Yes there!"

"PLEHEHEHEASE NOOOOHOHO!" He squealed, sinking onto his back as he covered his face with his hands, his legs kicking

"Take that back!"

"OHOHOHOHOHOKAY-! I TAHAHAHAHAKE IT BAHAHAHACK!! JUST STAHA-- *snort* NOHOHOHO!"

"Gee! You snort?" Iago laughed

"IHIHIHIHIHIHIAGOOOOHOHO!"

Iago smiled and stopped, flying upward and landing on Jafar's chest "Feel better?"

Jafar chuckled and nodded "Mhm.." Jafar yawned. He was pretty tired, it was late as well.

Iago grabbed the blankets, pulling them over Jafar.

"Yeesh... you act like a parent more than a pet.." Jafar rolled onto his side, his head lying comfortably on his pillow

"Be grateful." Iago huffed and closed the curtains on the window

Jafar giggled. "I aham! I am..."

Iago flew over, nuzzling in between Jafar's arms. "Goodnight, Jafar."

Jafar hummed, holding Iago close "Night, birdy..."

Don Darryl Rivera as Iago in Aladdin!

BOK + Iago holo prints I made for this year's birthday trip to Aladdin.

I love making physical prints of my work, especially holographic ones like this.

latest art drop for my friends at new amsterdam theatre. some wall hangings of Babkak, Omar, Kassim and Iago! i added beading on them as well that reflects their costumes and to add to that agrabah vibe.

i brought these a few weeks ago when i went for my birthday, so they have probably been hanging in the new am since which is very cool!

iago! he's poised to strike, watch out

Iago and the Cave of Wonders, set right at the end of Diamond in the Rough.

This is the first time I ever drew the cave but MAN I love it. This time I got to sit fifth row from the stage and seeing everything that close was fantastic. The Cave of Wonders in particular was just....wow. Seeing it form up from the ground? So cool.

BOK (& Iago) holographic polaroid prints! My most recent art delivery to the New Amsterdam Theatre included these lovely sparkly mini prints.

I'll post the illustrations separately, but I wanted to show off these prints because I really like the sparkles.
