sail
August 11, 2008
The Illustration Friday theme this week is “Sail.”
Sadly, I have some family business to attend to this week and will be out of town for most of it. I’ll miss all you blog pals and IFers since I will be quite utterly computerless. I will be back next week with bells on! Ok, maybe not bells. More likely a sketchbook, pencil and scanner, poised and ready to roll.
In the mean time, I have once again, shamelessly reposted. This time the flying wiener dog, sailing through the air with the greatest of ease.
Close enough, eh? See you all soon!

Have a good trip! I don’t mind you reposting, since they are usually from before I found your blog and now I get to see what I missed! Very cute!

It’s a funny one. You really captured the attitude that most wiener dogs have. They are little, funny shaped guys with a great self concept. It’s a great use of the ”sail” theme.

This is soooo cute! You did really great again!

that’s so great. Wiener dogs are kind of cute and grotesque at the same time.

chuckle* ^_^ I think the ‘wiener’ dog is created when God really wants to eat one..
sometimes it is good for us to be disconnect from the ‘cable’ world, hope you have a refreshing time out there.. gonna miss your sketch!

Ooohh, I LOVE it! Just look at the ears and paws, just perfect as he sails through the sky… What a great drawing, I’m glad you reposted it! 🙂

This wiener dog reminds me of one of those balloons in the Macy’s Parade. So cute and aerodynamic!
I wish you safe travels. 🙂

This is an awesome perspective. It offers us a fantastic view. Everything above seen from down below is always phenomenal. (I wonder whether my tummy will look as grand from down below like that … hmm, I think not 😉
*Thank you so much for the retirement tip 🙂

As the previous owner of 3 weiner dogs in the past, I have to tell you that yes, they do sail quite nicely and with the greatest of ease. : ) Cuteness!
