This is my entry for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “parade.”

The word reminds me of my high school marching band days. We would march in unbearably, hot uniforms in the July 4th, Independence Day parade.

It would have been nice to have someone waving at us. Most times, it seems the band would be stuck behind horses. That made for some fancy footwork.

I drew the finished file in Adobe Photoshop.

A few weeks ago, I drew this set of kids and moms at church.
I liked the expressions of the kids. It’s as if they were nervous because two parents were communicating. Kids get nervous whenever adults band together in the same way parents fear organized kiddie coups.

I drew this in pencil

Illustration Friday: Hierarchy

Illustration of a man cowering behind a desk. I originally had this for cartoon 1992. When I heard Illustration Friday’s theme was “hierarchy,” I thought this fit the bill.

It made me think about all the business troubles going on in the banks and Wall Street. It takes a lot of courage to make it in this business climate. But be strong and courageous! We’ll get through it!

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator CS2.
