Elephant Umbrella

Elephant Umbrella – say THAT five times fast!

Raindrops keep falling on his head. Mostly because it is HARD for an elephant to find an appropriately sized umbrella. I guess it’s true, rainy days and Mondays always get him down. (Look at that – TWO pop song references in ONE paragraph!)
Sure wish we’d get some of that rain here in Los Angeles.

Drawn & Quoted: Three Little Pigs

“All I ask is for a chance to prove that money can’t make me happy.”

– Spike Milligan (1918 – 2002)

 

These little piggies went to market….the stock market. Investing in pork bellies can be pretty good business apparently.

 

An inked sketch from my sketchbook, later colored digitally.

Bug & Boy

What could be more natural than a boy and his robot buddy, righting the wrongs of junior high school together. Wonder if they both get acne?

 

Robots are cool, but only when they are on your side.

Money Money Money

Everyone get their taxes sent in by today?

I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I’d want to get that close to duck tails (wooOOoo). A little ink and watercolor from my brown paper sketchbook.

 

Bad enough that the IRS wants a cut, but to also have to deal with the Beagle Boys – ugh.

Mama’s Day

A little ol’ dapper bear with some flowers for mama today – Mother’s Day!

Be careful, though. Don’t accidentally get between mama and her grown cub with those flowers. If so, WATCH OUT! You might get an unexpected bear hug!

 

Be thankful for your mama!

The Singing Cowboy

Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboy singers.

 

Always best if those notes are in tune.

 

This was a traditionally inked sketch in my sketchbook that was then taken into Photoshop to be colored. The hardest part was writing the song that he’s singing.

Smile & Wave

How’s everyone’s spring going? Everyone vaccinated and breathing some fresh air? Everyone free of ticks? And how about that tax day moving to May? Let’s all wave goodbye to what would have been tax day today!

 

This is what happens when you try to set up a secret nature camera in the woods.

Tourists

It’s always fun to travel and see new places. It’s just not always nice to appear to be obviously unfamiliar with that new place, especially when the locals look — hungry.

 

The locals are restless.
