Airplane Art - Fat Music

Of the four sketches that I brought home from my trip to Oklahoma/Texas this is the one that my wife likes the best. That surprised me. I thought my previous post was the best one - but who can account for taste? She said that one of the reasons she liked it was because she thought it was something a little different than what I normally draw. That response surprised me too. It's not like I've never drawn an obese person before - though I will say that I've not drawn many horns and my representation of music is altogether different than I've ever drawn before - so - maybe - she's right (boy, do I hope that she doesn't read this entry). Maybe it IS different.

Still, I think that she's wrong about which drawing is the best. But, this is not the first time that we've had different opinions about something. And, I dare say that it won't be the last.

There are two more to come. (I have a long story to tell with one of them) You tell me which one of the four illustrations you think is best.

Gabriel

This is another drawing that evolved as I drew it. I wasn't sure what I would come up with - drawing it while on a flight for our recent trip to Oklahoma. I just wanted to fill the page. Some where a long the way this runner turned into an angel and somewhere along the way I put a horn in his hand. So it was, Gabriel, the angel that blows the trumpet to announce Christ's coming.

I kept the flight attendant entertained while she went back and forth serving the refreshments. She said enough nice things about my drawing skills that I ended up drawing one of her pushing her cart. She seem appreciative. That was not the first time I gave a cartoon to a flight attendant. On one particular flight to Arizona, a flight attendant offered me a free drink when I gave her a cartoon. I took her up on it - Dr. Pepper of course. What did you think?

And what do you think of my version of Gabriel?
