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.

Illustration Friday: Confined


Illustration Friday: Confined, originally uploaded by speartoons.

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.”

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator

Weather can sure seem flawed. One day, it can be blizzard conditions. The next day, people are wearing shorts and flip-flops.

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator.

Ice Baby! The poor duck is stuck in the ice. I can’t imagine how this poor guy feels. Whenever I drive by a park and see those ducks in a pond, it makes me wonder if something like this has ever happened.

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator.

There is something about January that brings out the grump in people. If the weather has been bad, it’s a catalyst to the whole thing.

Then again, I start to wonder if I am the catalyst. Nobody likes someone who’s in a good mood if they’re in a bad one. I just may be too annoying to some.

I drew this in my sketchbook. I used a Pilot Pecise pen and Prismacolor pencils.
