Post-Party Punishment

What did this poor guy do at the neighbor's party to earn this when they got home?

 

More Scribblings

So - a full 30 people checked the 'Give Me More' box from last week, more than on any other post (yay!), not to mention several comments encouraging me to post more works-in-progress and sketches (double yay!). By that I can infer one of two things -
a) the idea is popular, or
b) since the post has been up all week, and in that time the blog has accumulated around 6000 visits......(doing the math, doing the math....)  that means about 199 in every 200 of you would really rather I didn't (including one sourpuss who is apparently decidedly against it).

Hm. Tough decision. I'm going to go with human nature and choose "a", only hearing what I want to hear. The rest is just noise, and I'm putting my hands over my eyes and ears so as to make it all go away...

This last one was a preliminary study for this final illo ; at this early stage, it really wasn't working - I wanted to see the  woman's expression, and  the poses and the silhouette were too static. He actually looks a bit bored or disappointed in her lacklustre efforts - hardly the life-altering walloping I'd intended.

I will post more studies and scribbles down the road, in blatant disregard for the will of the majority. We may live in a democracy, but blogs are dictatorships. Get used to it.

Stay Still !

What is wrong with you?! If you don't settle down, I'm pretty sure I can do this harder. You want to see me try?

Learning his Lesson

Found a couple free hours this weekend and felt like sketching on the back deck - with all the birds singing and the sun shooting through the trees, it's a great spot to lose oneself in a book - or a spanking illo....


btw, just a quick shout out that the Blogger gods descended in wrath upon yet another blog - Andy over at someonesgonnagetit was shut down - but not to fear, he has reanimated over at WordPress. The link in my list on the right has been updated to take you there.

More Retro Ad Fun

Just what 'occasions' are they referring to...?

This next one is not my artwork, but a couple unrelated ads from the 50's cobbled together, with apologies to the original artists -

Angry 50's housewife

I could see that title becoming a fairly common one on this blog. But some ideas bear repeating...
