I was working on my first psychedelic piece when this week's topic came up. Made me think of Austin Power! Do you see the link now? Not happy with the result so far but I'm running out of time!

James TOTALled his car. The garage lent him a tiny car in which he was TOTALly squeezd. He stopped at the TOTAL petrol station and paid a TOTAL of $10.

Love the concept of the electric car. Plug it in over night and off you go!! A bit retro thus the rendering!!

"Such a good idea to HIDE my head in that box! Nobody at the shops noticed that big pimple!"

Couldn't help it!! My teenage step-kids show such lack of common sense I had to illustrate it!! Those of you surrounded by teenagers might understand what I'm talking about...

Friends of my sister got killed at the beginning of the week in Saudi. I had met one of them. He was just a normal guy. An excellent school teacher that my niece loved dearly. The communication breakdown with the fundamentalists has brought an end to his life and a halt to his kids' and wife's. He was gunned down in front of them. I couldn't draw anything on this subject so I'm just posting the illustration I first intended to post but that's really what occupied my mind at the time. Communication is the key to most problems around us and in the world, we all know it. Why can't we just talk things through....

I seem to be posting my entries later every week!!
Gravity made me think of the anatomy of an older woman. Who knows why?

Of the impact your loss of control can have on others that are not even directly involved!!!!

As we say in French: BEURKKKKKK!!!!
To me sprouts will always be associated with Brussels Sprouts, a delicacy that my mother used to cook at least once a year.
I hated it. Used to spend hours in front of my plate. "You won't go to bed until you've finished your dinner!" I can still hear it!
To this day I still won't go anywhere near the stuff!!!

Here is my illustration for Red. My husband travels to China a lot so I thought about communism as soon as I saw this subject.

I have been away a fair bit with no scanner or internet around. Just trying to catch up on the illustration friday challenge.
