Cloudy with a chance of birthday


I woke up with this in my head. I'm not sure why. I'm turning a small milestone birthday this Sunday, so perhaps that has something to do with it. All the same, I thought it was rather funny, if in a slightly melancholic and poignant way...

Winter is coming


Sort of. I live in San Diego. I was chilly last night and thought it was somewhere
in the forties. I come inside and look and it's 60 degrees. I'm either a wuss when it comes to the cold(highly likely), or the shorter days have a profound psychological effect on the body and it's heat regulation...
Either way, the occasion calls for cartoonage. Enjoy.

Arizona



I visited Arizona last weekend. It was fun. I had a couple of cartoons in my head
afterward. For all of you Americans who did not watch a staggering amount of Monty
Python in your formative years, "peckish" also means "hungry."

Hand it to you


I read recently that it's good to draw hands (and redraw and draw some more). I have a hard time just putzing about with random hands, so here's a start at drawing hands. I learned that I am seriously lacking in hand-drawing skills. This is not my first attempt at drawing this...
BTW Ben is my smart, funny, and dashingly handsome husband. I dedicate my second attempt of drawing this to you. (i hope that's really how you sign 'love')

Ads ads and more ads


I'm thinking about using this ad as well. I think i need to brush it up.
I'm realizing that I used to have tons of time to make seriously thoughtful
and introspective paintings. Now I have a little bit of time but still have
all these fun ideas in my head about things to draw and jokes to make.
I'm thinking my bagpipe band is not too keen on my jokes these days
and so i'd better just hold them in and draw them out.
That's, like... art therapy, right? Art therapy for those of us
who have really awful jokes. *sigh* Perhaps I can find
a group of people to stand up and also admit to having absolute
horrendous jokes. Admitting it really is the first step...

Buttons


I have this thing with buttons. Not sure why. There's a whole mess of jokes
to be made with/about/for buttons. Let's tackle a few, shall we?
