IF wild boar 450Maggie and Buttercup were wild about tea.

The word of the week, over there at Illustration Friday is “wild,” but all I could scare up was this docile boar, so he’ll just have to do.

So, anywho, I was going to post this yesterday for the Illustration Friday theme “Talent” but missed it by THIS much. Soooo, since this week’s theme is “Yesterday”…

Squeaking an “Illustration Friday” in!

Two posts in one day! What the heck is going on?

HoHoDooDa Day 20

crunchyreindeer 450

PLEASE CLICK ON ABOVE IMAGE.

The Illustration Friday word of the week is crunchy. So I squeaked out another quick 2 sketches to try to make up for my lagging the past couple of days.

UPDATE:

Ok, I’m not sure where I got the idea the Illustration Friday word of the week was “crunchy.” Must have dreamt it. It’s actually “snow.” So, there’s snow in my image, so it still fits, hee hee!

I hope you’ll drop by here and see what my fellow HoHoDooDa Doodlers are up to.

SkADaMo Day 24

November 24, 2012

Some of my favorite be-whiskered folk are otters.

Ya know, for some reason, even though I realize they are different critters, “Muskrat Love” was playing in my noggin while I drew these guys. Something about “nibbling on bacon, chewin’ on cheese…”

Swing by here for some fellow SkADaMo shenanigans and check out Illustration Friday‘s “Whiskers” this week. And for a giant shot of inspiration, check out PiBoIdMo.

SkADaMo Day 16

November 16, 2012

Lately I’ve been feeling as if I’m moving at a snail’s pace… which wouldn’t be so bad, if it was this snail.

ZooooooooooooM!

This is a redo of a sketch from years ago. Tweaked it a bit and sketched it in digital pencil again, as opposed to the original, which was with my trusty mechanical pencil. Oh, and I killed two birds with one stone for Illustration Friday’s “Zoom.”

Actually, a couple of birds were killed with one stone (although no actual birds were harmed in the making of this post.) This is a seed for a PiBoIdMo idea. So, ya know, I’ve got that goin’ for me.

Oh, and please, when if you get a chance, stop by and take a peek at what my fellow SkADaMoers are doing using the link at the end of this post right here.

SkADaMo Day 10

BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE!

It happens to the best of us, eh?

The Illustration Friday word of the week is “Tree” and this popped into my head for some reason.

………………………..

Hey now, don’t forget to toddle on over  here and check out my fellow SkADaMoers. There’s some really good stuff! Thanks!

mmIt was early morning and the sprinklers had just begun glitter-bombing the backyard. I was curled up on the couch with sleep still nested in the corner of my eyes, scrawling out my “morning pages.” Iggy, my calico girl, purred contentedly on one side of me, a steamy cup of freshly brewed coffee sat on the other.

Halfway through my writing, a loud THUNK startled me out of my reverie.

Iggy and I exchanged surprised looks and she joined me as I got up to inspect the patio ground for any possible stunned bird carcasses. The sound came from the French door window, so it stood to reason that one of our feathered friends could have taken a bad turn.

All was clear, or so I thought. As I began sitting down to resume my morning task, I could see from the corner of my eye, Iggy skulking back into the house with something tiny and limp in her mouth. Apparently in the stunned-bird-carcass-inspection department, she was superior to me in every way. But the involuntary scream that left my throat, stopped her in mid triumphant trot and caused her to Read the rest of this entry »

“Pollen.” Mz. Buzzbee, the second grade teacher called out to Beep.

“Pppollen.” Beep stammered. “Can you please use it in a sentence?”

lonely

Puddle hoped this subtle hint would get him some face-time with his busy human.

When I heard what the Illustration Friday theme was for this week, this little image popped into my head, so I thought I’d run with it.

refresh

After his be-sparklered run through the park, Mortimer felt not only like a Yankee Doodle Dandy, but refreshed and ready for the rest of the summer!

Happy Independence Day everyone!!!!

sight

May 19, 2012

Once Arlo had it in his sights to master flying, there was no stopping him.

I don’t know much about owls, but I would imagine with such big peepers, this little fella’s eyesight would be incredible.

So, Illustration Friday, it’s been a while! Good to be back!

yield

March 15, 2012

Pig wasn’t one to yield to his temptation, but there IS a first time for everything.

Sheeeeeepers! That was a hard word for “Illustration Friday!” But I was determined to get back in the game this week, last minute though it may be!

Booyah!
