“Worn” for Illustration Friday

This week’s word for Illustration Friday is “Worn.”

This graphite sketch I did with pastel background of a chimp reminds me of a worn out little old man.

THE CAT HAS A CRAVING / ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY

The cat has a craving for fish

So she went to look in her dish

It was empty so then

She went to her den

And found a whole mess of delish

The word for this week’s Illustration Friday is “Craving.”

CONTAGIOUS

The word for this week’s Illustration Friday is “Contagious.” We are in the new “Swine” flu frenzy so I sketched someone who is sneezing like there’s no tomorrow. That means he is not covering his mouth or even try to conceal his germs. Too many people are doing the same thing.

Pix I took of Lady gazing at bird through window.

MY MOTHER

Here is a picture of my Mother and me at a restaurant in Northridge circa early 1970’s. Anna was taking the pix. We had taken my Mother for lunch for Mother’s Day. She was the greatest. Keeping the family together when the old man when took off to laze around living with his Mother, drinking and having a good time. But I digress. She was the best all time Mother and my sisters would agree I am sure. I won’t bore you with the details now but I am thinking of writing a novel about my adventures in the old days of my youth, which included WW II, Korean War, Vietnam and some other stuff.

Sky for painting

This is a photo I took awhile ago.  And I was looking through my photos for one to use in a painting I am doing.  Need some cool clouds.  I thought I’d use this one even tho I have quite a few cloud pix.

IF: Legendary

Barara Streisand

The word for this week’s Illustration Friday is “Legendary.”

I think we can all agree that Barbara Streisand is, if nothing else, “legendary.”

Eh wot old chap?  Here is a sketch I did of her recently.  To be more precise a caricature.

Her nose of course is also legendary.

Lady with Umbrella

The word for this week’s Illustration Friday is “breezy.”

Here is part of a painting I did in acrylic, after Monet. I think it fits the word breezy. What do you think?

Monkey’s Instinct

Monkey's Instinct

The word for this week’s Illustration Friday is “instinct.” I was flipping thru my sketchbook and came across this sketch and decided to color it and submit for the word “instinct.”

Monkey’s instinct to eat and especially for bananas is well known. So here is Matilda the Monkey.

“Time” for Obama

This week’s word for Illustration Friday is “time.” I did this cartoon of Obama during the primaries. I think it fits the word “time.” It is his time now and hopefully he can take us through this crisis much as FDR did during the Depression of the thirties. Hopefully it won’t take as long.
