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.

Here is my digital illustration for this week’s topic on Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “focused.”
When they announced the word, I immediately thought of a camera. After all, I’ve been having all sorts of fun with a point and shoot camera. But the thought soon left me, so obviously, that didn’t have much of an impact on me. If I didn’t care all that much, I didn’t expect anyone else to care either.
This is my sketch for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “;wilderness” Whenever I think of wilderness, I envision the old Hanna Barbera, Yogi Bear cartoons. As a kid, I thought everyone was mean because they wouldn’t feed the bears. This is how I would have liked those cartoons to turn out.
My idealism changed when we went on a vacation to the Smoky Mountains and I saw a bear charge a tourist. That settles it. It’s not a good idea to feed the bears.

Illustration of a mom and two children looking at the snow from a window. There is nothing like a snow day to bring the joy to children and depression to parents.
Yes, my kids have a snow day today. And mom is home with the gang. I hope she is having a better day than the poor women in this illustration.
I drew this for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “confined.”

Sketch of a photo from the Anderson (Indiana) Herald-Bulletin. The article was about the Chamberlain Family Reunion on Christmas Day. The article is at http://www.heraldbulletin.com/archivesearch/local_story_359201717.html
The photo had the patriarch of the family holding twins that were his great-great niece and great-great nephew. It was a great choice for Illustration Friday’s theme. This week’s word was “pioneer.” The gentleman had traveled to Anderson, Indiana from the south when he was young to look for work. He found it in the factories and soon his family followed.
The Anderson Herald-Bulletins owns the copyright to the photo I based this sketch on.
