Illustration Friday: Music

Hello IFers! Long time no see. This week's entry is a photo illustration of a poster I designed for my son's band The Aquards.

I hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving this week (or, just their Thursday).

Your feedback is always encouraged.

Illustration Friday: Clear

Hello IFriday Folks. Long time no see. I've been working on some other projects: NaNoWri this month--woefully behind in word count right now, some political writing, and other things.

I am going to try to get back in to swing of things with IFriday and offer this little slice 'o life as my return to you.

This piece was done in Illustrator CS.

Illustration Friday: Fat

This topic didn't really grab me.

True confession time:

I have a weight issue.

Well, I don’t have the issue, I kind of like the way light bends around me when I walk—but my wife and my doctor think that I could stand to lose the not-so-secret store of Ho-hos and Ring Dings that I carry around my waist. And they’re correct. Being of Italian descent not only means I have to put up with people asking “Do you know any mobsters?” (I reply, “Luca Brazi sleeps with the fishes,” let them figure it out), but it also means I am predisposed to a hairy back and a hairless head (proof, once again, that God does have a sense of humor). It also means that I may end up with a body the size of a small satellite (as in moon not dish, though a dish of Moonpies sure sounds good). Of course, it’s my own fault that I wear the same size pants as Yang-yang the Panda.

Ok, that's actually an excerpt from a column I wrote about trail trial lawyers suing fast food companies on behalf of 'supersized sofa spuds' (was my bias obvious), but it seemed like an appropriate opening for this weeks topic. And, for those who are keeping score (just in case my doctor is reading this) I am down to a svelte 218--18 pounds to go. Now if only I weren't 4 foot 3.

Anyway, this topic really didn't grab me so I resorted to visual puns. Have fun.

Illustration Friday: Under the Sea

Ok, I know some of you were expecting me to do something like this:

C

Under
but that was too much for me.

So instead, I went with the next best choice--pick on the blonde celebrity. There is a link after the piece for folks who may not be familar with the wisdom of Jessica Simpson.

The Things You See in the Mall

So I was in the bookstore at our local mall this morning. I saw this and couldn't resist snapping a picture with the ole cell phone. I asked one of the bookestias about it and she looked at it, and the stack of books behind it, laughed a little and shrugged. Submitted for you amusement/chagrin.

Illustration Friday: Speed

Speed is a teenaged girl with a cell phone and a secret.

Thanks to all commented on last week's entry. We were on vacation last week (Florida, thanks for asking) and I didn't have a lot of time to respond to everyone. I promise to catch up this week.

As always your comments are encouraged and appreciated.

Illustration Friday: Cold

After last weeks sad entry, I decided to go with a lighter approach. This is for Illustration Friday's challenge of the 'cold' theme.
