When I thought of Illustration Friday’s word, “freeze,” I thought of one of my favorite summer treats. Whether you for for Tasty Freeze™, slushies, Slurpees, shaved ice, Italian Ice, Mr Freeze™, snow cone, or any other type or brand, They are just the right treat when you’re on a hot beach!
I drew this using Adobe Ideas for the iPad, then Adobe Illustrator.
I drew this about twelve years ago at the beach. I wonder now what this boy was thinking as he was staring at the shell and if he ever got his questions answered.
Most adults look at kids and think they have a carefree existence where everything is better than anything an adult could be going through. But as a teacher, I’ve seen experience some tough situations. School and family can be enough to drive anyone crazy, let alone a nine year-old!
Kids need some time to decompress and de-stress too. In the USA, we’re about to enter a holiday weekend. Take some time to relax, and give your kids a chance to do so as well.
Cartoon of a boy and a shark. The shark says, “Hey, Buddy! Let me know when you’re going to get in the water, okay?”
I read an article today about shark attacks in Australia. It reminded me of stories where authorities cautioned people to stay out of the water during sunup or sundown. It made me think about sharks that are so obnoxious, they could ask for a heads up from unsuspecting individuals.
If a shark speaks to you, run the other way!
I thought this would also work for Illustration Friday’s word for this week. It’s “scary.”
