Illustration Friday: Hoard

I read an article a few weeks ago where a couple on the US east coast was hoarding gasoline in their apartment. The authorities found out about it when the place blew up and killed the couple.

I know the prices are getting high, but don't hoard your gasoline, kiddies!

Illustration Friday-Punchline

When I thought of the word, "punchline," I thought of the times when I was sure a joke was funny, but discovered nobody else thought it was. When joke doesn't work, it just makes you want to throw out the joke book... or worse!

Illustration Friday: Forgotten

This is a page out of my sketchbook on June 6, 2008. Sketchbook 0806, page 156. I thought about the ideal when I looked on the History Channel's web site and was shocked to learn today was D-Day.

On this one, I just drew straight into my sketchbook. I used Pitt Markers to ink the pencil. Now if I could take notes like this every day, I'd be in heaven. Hmmm. Maybe I should.

$175 Burger: Do You Want Fries with That?

I would worry if I ate that expensive burger even if I could afford it. I'd worry about what a waste of money when others struggle to feed themselves

The word for Illustration Friday this week is "electricity." In the USA, there's been a lot of talk about energy, fuel and the price. Gasoline keeps hitting all-time highs for us. In Indiana, there is talk about liquefying coal since we have plenty here.

As for me, I'm saving all my power for my PC.

The United States airline industry has to feel like failures this week. Between canceled flights, bankruptcies and prolonged inspections, I'm wondering what my next flight experience will be like.

Indiana SCBWI spring conference

I am part of the Madison Park Church of God Writers' Group. I just posted an announcement on the site about an upcoming writers conference.

This is the spring conference for the Indiana Chapter of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. I'm going to attend. Maybe I'll see you there too.
