Illustration Friday: Adapt


When I heard this word, I thought of those poor polar bears who may need to learn how to adopt to subtopic conditions.

Surfing the big waves may have to replace boogie boarding on the ice.

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator CS3.

Illustration Friday: Cracked

This is my take for Illustration Friday’s word, “Cracked.” Goldfish always look so relaxed and trusting considering the sad fate these poor creatures often face. 

When I was little, I threw a toy pistol through our ten gallon aquarium. How was I to know it would break? Mom and Dad must have had patience of steel that day.

Illustration Friday: Contagious

Illustration Friday: Contagious

Cartoon: Boy to teacher, "Nobody will play with me, Mrs. Hunt, just because I told them I?m extremely contagious."

This week’s theme for Illustration Friday is "Contagious." I had this idea swimming around my mind as all the hype about swine flu was going on a couple of weeks ago. This looked like the perfect opportunity to bring the idea to life.

Middle-age couple on computer

The other day, I saw a lady operating a computer at church. I drew a sketch of the scene.

It amazes me how pervasive technology is becoming. People who I thought would never have a computer are now using them. PC’s now seem to be a part of every church. Hi tech has hit mainstream!
