Super Turkey

You'd better purchase your turkey early this year. With Super Turkey on the job, I understand that the traditional Thanksgiving bird is going to be a lot more difficult to find.

I'm not kidding here!!

Perhaps you should Copy & Share If You Dare the doodle to get the word out to the unsuspecting public out there. I'd hate to see their holidays ruined.

There are certain responsibilities that come with having important information like that.

So, get on it!

Check here for last year's Thanksgiving illustration.

Also: Laura, my peachy friend, told me about this photo she posted on her blog. It's a door in her home that is "decorated" with some of my doodles that she and her daughter colored. (Hi Martha!)

It just seems bizarre to me to see a photo of a door in Georgia that is covered with my artwork.

You can also see the doodle I did of the both of them for Christmas last year. I think that was the final Christmas doodle I did last year. What a relief to get that in the mail. More strangeness to see my art hanging there as well.

Nice coloring there ladies!

Thanksgiving vs Christmas

Why is Thanksgiving better than Christmas? Because the turkey is real and Santa is not. AND! the turkey is coming to your house whether or not you've been naughty or nice.
Another sketch that I did on a plane. It kind of looks like a cross between a turkey and a vulture. Probably a lot of dark meat on this one. I like white meat. How about you?

Johnny in Color

Here is the drawing of Johnny with the color added. Which do you like better? Note the additions to the barn.

Johnny

This is a caricature I did of a few month back of friend I've known for a number of years. One of his three beautiful daughters (It takes a special man to be a father to three beautiful girls.) wanted me to draw it for a birthday gift. I know the family from two great years of living out in the little community of Camp Creek - NW Oklahoma. You won't find it on a map. Johnny is a great guy and I was happy to do it for him.

Actually, I think this is one of the best caricature that I have done. I just really like the way it turned out. This is the black and white version. I'll post the color one soon.

Johnny enjoys hunting. We spent one fall morning hunting some wild turkey together - a very difficult creature to hunt. If you're one of those that opposes hunting you might be happy to learn that I gave myself a black-eye on the scope of the gun when I fired it. But the turkey tasted good.

What do you think?
