Poor guy was getting tired of relying on nickel-metal hydrides.

Illustration Friday
Some of my favorite people are those who look gruff and spooky on first appearances, but turn out to be soft and mushy on the inside.

I had to speed through this one to make the Illustration Friday deadline, so you’ll notice it’s quites sketchy. It’s a play off another illustration I did quite some time ago: Momentum

I ran out of time for a completed illustration this week, so a sketch’ll haveta do ya!
Anyone who has kids who can speak know that it’s near impossible to keep ahead with finances.

Family dynamics are always fun to illustrate. Growing up with 6 sisters and 1 brother gives me lots of fodder for humorous banter.

Here’s something I did a while ago that matches this week’s Illustration Friday theme perfectly:

Perhaps instinct drew them together to bathe in this one particular puddle. Either that or I did.

I just love drawing fat fingers and little kids’ toes. Nothing fierce about those at all.

Any dentist that uses needles, drills, picks, cold water, abrasives, scissors, floss, anything with high pitch sounds or tastes bad is still in the dark ages as far as I’m concerned.
Brushed ink lines and watercolor wash.

No time for color this week, just a couple sketches.
Faith is overshadowed by superstition here. The basic idea of this one was from my wife. She may not be artistic, but she’s definitely creative.

It’s a good thing that Thanksgiving is between Halloween and Christmas (at least in the States it is). Acts as a buffer and gives the two extremes a bit of breathing room. The turkey always gets it in the end anyway despite his intentions to make peace.
Hmmm… this might work well for this years’ “Happy Holidays” card.

Although scolded every time, juggling the farm animals was a habit Cindy couldn’t kick until her early teens.
Update:
I played with this a little more to give it a warmer hand sketched look. I kinda dig the rougher feel of the cow below. What do you think? What style do you think children’s book publishers would welcome more? Click on the cow to see it up close.

Almost 10 years ago a friend asked me to draw this illo for her because she was getting married at such an old age (she was probably in her early 40s at the time), and she actually used it on the front of her wedding announcement. I still can’t believe it.

Maybe it’s the recent road trip to California with young children that has tainted my thought process. Anyhoo, here’s my submission.
Below is another Illustration Friday submission that I just couldn’t finish on time. There’s not much worse than an uninvited visitor asking to stay for just a couple weeks until they get back on their feet. Illustration Friday’s theme: Visitor. I hope to add color soon.
I had one more idea that I just sketched up to get the idea across.

This was a very quick experiment using a sketch a half an inch high. A fun thing for me to sketch, teeny tiny Amoebots. Half robot, half amoeba. And with this guy’s brain, he’s the geekiest of the bunch!

If it’s considered good luck when a ladybug lands on you, then Timmy’s fortune is looking pretty good!

This is an older illustration, but I just had to cheat this week because of my work load. This little girl was the very first thing I thought of when hearing this week’s theme. She’s made an appearance in several of my illos, and maybe she will again in the future. I hope you like her.

The Smurfs and Max Headroom, combined in this deliciously 80s illustration.<p>I was a child and a teenager during the 80s, a most impressionable decade for anyone, let alone someone who was trying to find himself.
