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.

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator CS3

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!

Illustration Friday: Parade


Illustration Friday: Parade, originally uploaded by speartoons.

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.
