CRITTERDELPHIA: Shannon McLaughlin's artwork nestles in at PHL's Terminal B

In adorable-critter news, local darling Shannon McLaughlin gave us the heads-up this morning that an expanded version of "Say Hello to My Little Friends," which we've officially been stalking for more than a year now, will be unveiled tomorrow afternoon at the Philadelphia International Airport's Terminal B. Here's some details from the PHL website:

Philadelphia artist Shannon McLaughlin has created a whimsical series of pet portraits based on her innate love of animals. She draws animals of all kinds but primarily smaller species like chipmunks, ferrets, hamsters, hedgehogs, rabbits, and squirrels. Each is hand drawn on a piece of wood — a cross section of a tree with its bark still intact. She typically portrays a single animal amidst a bright, colorful background surrounded by images of the animal's favorite food — acorns, pinecones, crickets, kiwis and more.

You've gotta be a boarding-pass-possessing customer to peep the show, so next time you're en route out of or into Philly, make sure to stop by and say hello to Shannon's friends.
