Cartoon of cat and dog on and iceberg. Dog says, “On the bright side, at least the snow has melted.”

When this week’s word, “adrift,” came up for Illustration Friday, I thought of all the snow in my backyard and my poor pets. They have had a hard time with the snow. And Indiana hasn’t gotten the kind of snow that has assaulted the east coast. We’ve had only a small taste of Snowmageddon.

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator CS2

Cartoon of  girl and snowman. Girl says, “So maybe the hot tub was a bad idea.”

There’s lots of snow here this week. Snow people have been sprouting everywhere. There are certain things these new citizens should not enjoy. Hot tubs are one of many potential hazards for the common snow individual. Be sure to warn them.

Six more weeks… stupid groundhog!

CNN is reporting Punxsutawney Phi has seen his shadow once again . The oversized rodent says there are six more weeks of winter in these United States. The weatherman keeps threatening more snow in Indiana, so Phil must be right.

My heart was broken. Yet, I had enough strength to spread the news the low tech drawing way, via a chalk interface device. Thanks to cameras, I can spread it high-tech too.

Whenever something catches my attention, or just bugs me, I have to let it out somehow. Drawing or doodling is the best way for me. I might as well get some creative mileage out of it.

I’m thankful for some new chalkboard paint at work. It’s a great new outlet that doesn’t involve pixels or bezier curves. It’s okay to be low tech once in a while.
