July 4th, 2008 Illustration Friday Fierce



They never give up, nor surrender to fatigue
These the boys, of the Babe Ruth Little League
Shorter than his bat
Weighing slightly more than his helmet
There was never a hitter quite as fierce
Standing at the plate, was Little Timmy Pierce
As ball left hand
Tension crackled in the stands
His bat did twitch and with a mighty swing
Lil' Timmy had hit the tar out of that pitch.

The topic today, was "Fierce." I drew this whilst listening to a game yesterday. I was working on it when Jim Thome hit a big two run homer in the 8th to seal the win for the White Sox. Big Jim is a fierce hitter indeed, so I wrote my little verse, and decided to use it for Illustration Friday.

Yoyo hoard



Double post!! This was my other idea for Illustration Friday this week. I owe this concept, a hoard of yoyo-putians, to Kate. I really wanted to finish the color on this one, but haven't had time this week.

Illustration Friday




Howard happily herded hoards of heifers, hour after hour.

The topic this week was "Hoard", which I stretched to include "Hoards".

Learning


Hi everyone! Today's verb topic is "Learning":


Okay, the kid on the top is coloring, instead of learning. That sketch probably a little autobiographical. Just about every paper I ever turned in had doodles in the margin. Something about that little strip of paper to the left, broken up by the 3 holes, it was a creative wonderland that constantly beckoned to me. I really enjoyed taking notes in class, doodle-doodle... scribble some notes on the lecture... doodle doodle... this probably explains why I had trouble concentrating in meetings as an adult.

June 1, 2008

Welcome to June everyone. June. I can't believe how quickly time passes these days, and yet there's never enough time to get everything done. Strange. Here are a couple animated gifs for you:

I used a dip pen and ink to create these. I hope you enjoy them. They are externally linked, because for some reason animated gifs don't work on Blogger.com.
