YES - I DO KNOW THAT IT'S VERY CHILDISH..... But there you go!

New toys..... Must play!!!!!!!ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY.


Wheeeeeee - It Worked!!!!
It takes so little to make me happy! - OK, next week, I will only post once, and not be a line jumper!....sorry for the inconvenience, and I assure you that normal service should be resumed for th enext installemnt!

I just got this e-mail, and it fits this weeks IF theme. Hope you enjoy it!

Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and Krispy Crème Donuts. And Satan said "You want chocolate with that?" and Man said "Yes!" and Woman said "and while you're at it add some sprinkles." And they gained 10 pounds. And Satan smiled.

And God created the healthful yoghurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 6 to size 14.

So God said "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.

God then said "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them." And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken and fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof.

God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named it "Angel Cake" and said "It is good."

Satan then created chocolate cake and named it "Devil's Food".

God then brought forth running shoes so that His children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue light and gained pounds.

Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition.

And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy centre into chips and

God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald's and its £1 double cheeseburger. Then said "You want fries with that?" and Man replied "Yes! And super size them!" And Satan said "it is good." And Man went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

Then Satan created the National Health Service.



Thought for the day ..........

There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040 there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them............

Devil & Angel - Finished

I finished it on Sunday night. After a pretty hectic day / weekend of moving earth and plants. I don't know if the Laurel that I moved will survive, as after a couple of hours carefully diggin it out, it fell over and snapped off half the roots!!

We'll see!

anyway, here is my finished Devil & Angel illustration, and in the previous post, you can see the initial scribble, along with my notes regarding the comparisons.

I'd like to hear any comments!

Devil Or Angel

Illustration Friday!

Devils & Angels...... I didn't think I'd come up with anything. Mind blank, and all that jazz, but then, just a while before end of play, this idea came to me. It's a 30 second scrawl at the moment, but hopefully, by the end of the week I'll have polished it up and made it into a picture!



And here is the finsihed piece! - I drew it out on Friday night, colured it using Photoshop on Sunday. I have to admit, I think I prefer the facial expression and the devils stance in my initial sketch, but for some reason, this was lost in the latter attempts. - what do you think?



That's my personal challenge for ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY.
I've got a fair bit of work on this weekend though. Looking after both boys, some hefty work in the garden and I've been asked to create a newspaper front page for a birthday present...... Damn - You might just be stuck with my 30 second scribble after all!

It's Illustration Friday

and the sad case that I am, I'm waiting excitedly for the title to pop into my mailbox.......

Until then, I thought I'd post this one up. I did this little cartoon ATC to exchange for jiving ATCs.



I've just called it Oops.. because the caption I want to use for it is too long.

It was whilst jiving at the office party that PR78Q realised that the older robots like himself, were more robustly put together, even though they were less agile. He also wondered if this incident was a sackable offence.

See - Too long to put on the back of an ATC.

Today is ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY

Today is Friday, and that means my very first ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY.
And the topic is FAT!
Thanks a lot....No, I really mean it!!!! Thanks a *&$% LOT.

So I did this....And it was rubbish, so I photographed it next to a tomato and gave it a title, and the tomato made it marginally less rubbish, at least it's got a tomato in it now!

Illustration Friday

I'm going to give Illustration Friday a go.

My art work is crap, so perhaps it's time to try and polish it up a little! Maybe I've left it too late to learn to draw?
