Ann's Flower Power

Ann is another good friend.  She is one of those kind of people that is so nice it makes you wonder what she's been up to.  This is a photo of her stating next to my wife, Marylynn.  (They both are vertically challenged) 

Ann is the choir director at our church, plus she plays the guitar and sings.  That makes her a triple threat, I guess.

When I first thought about doodling her I was thinking about drawing her as the flying, singing nun.  But, after further thinking, I decided to turn Ann into a flower child tiptoeing through the tulips.

I gave Ann her illustration at the same get-together where I presented Gene (previous post) with his.  In Ann's own words she said that it will be something that she treasures.  I told her that I wanted to see it over the mantel of her fireplace.  Then she told me she didn't have a fireplace.  So, then I told her to hang it in her bathroom.  She just laughed.  (I think that means no.)

I have a "Copy & and Share" Christmas doodle coming next—just in time for the holiday.  So stay "tooned."

Barb On The Fence

Say hello to Barb. She contacted me a little while ago and asked me to create a caricature for her. She said that she would like me to draw her standing by (not on) a picket fence. She also request that I add Daylilies to her drawing. It's interesting to see all the different scenarios that people come up with for their illustration.

I had fun looking up photographs of Daylilies on the web to help me know how to draw them. After she saw the caricature, Barb said that I sure knew my Daylilies well. The truth is that I think I created some new breeds of flowers here. The same goes for the butterflies.

You can find Barb's blog here. She says that she is having it redesigned so that she can include this illustration, and that to happen in the near future.

One thing I learned while working with Barb: When people send you a head shot, don't turn around and ask for a full body photograph. People tend to balk at that kind of request.

My apologies Barb, and thank you for using me for your cartoon needs.
