strings
October 14, 2008
Bertram Bunniweather realized only too late that he had neglected to read the fine print. There were strings attached.
“There are always strings attached,” he murmured under his breath.

The Illustration Friday theme this week is “strings.”

Well, hello. Poor Bertram. He should look for a lawyer and find a loophole that may help him out of his predicament! Love your take on the topic and the texture and rich purple of the background!
🙂
Cheers,

Oh! Even a bunny puppet doesn’t like to be dominated! Poor Bertram, he must feel blue now!
Love the bunny’s expression and the purple background really reflects his situation!

I adore!!! Very charming!

Hehe! Great expression of resignation on his face 🙂

Won’t somebody save poor Bertram Bunnyweather?
Is there a lawyer in the house? Look at his face, there has to be a loophole!

You know it girl… poor Bertram, if it sounds too good to be true….it is!!! A lesson I wish I could learn!
Wonderful work Linda.

Really cute, and I love the use of color!
I’m so stuck for ideas on this theme 😦

Bertram holds the strings to my heart! Are you working on the prototype for this yet? Well, get busy 🙂
The way you postured him makes for a wonderful design against the purple. D-licious!!

Sometimes I feel just like him!

Sigh. One of life’s difficult lessons. Poor bunny. Great drawing, and great expression! Love the textured background, too.

Someday his fairy god mother will come and turn him into a real bunny!

Very lovely & beautiful piece.
I do agree with the rest.
The “strings” mood is so well expressed here, where this rich purple background set a great contrast to the white fluffy bunny.
His eyes & mouth expression say “I am forced to…”

After going through your recent IFs and this one…I have greatly enjoyed your work. It looks so effortless and the expressions are priceless. Great work!

So cute!! I love his little joints and facial expression
October 15, 2008 at 12:06 pm

Oh Linda this is great, the best strings indeed !!!

Poor Bunny…great illo and concept
October 15, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Beautiful in its simplicity and precision (those straight lines! that lovely purple!) Combined with the text, it reminds me of a page out of The Mystery of Harris Burdick. Do you know that book?
October 15, 2008 at 10:09 pm
Poor bummed out bunny! Great color choices and a wonderful concept.

October 16, 2008 at 5:46 am
I’m always amazed at your thought processes….this is great! And so true! Poor Bertram….just like the rest of us.
October 16, 2008 at 10:07 am
Poor Bertram….life’s lessons learned.
October 16, 2008 at 3:53 pm
