illustration friday: New (year)

This week's theme is "new", so I have gone with the predictable "Happy New Year" illustration. Here is a little cartoon about the conversations we have on Hogmanay and the days that follow. It is also a warning. If someone asks you what your highlight of the year was STOP, THINK and answer CAREFULLY!

 

 

p.s. I think my highlight of the year might be a gig. Either Admiral Fallow or Mumford and Sons...or maybe it was was Hogmanay itself! Or maybe it was halloween or my birthday or visiting Rome or seeing Avenue Q or watching Kevin Bridges.......2012 was a good year when I think about it. Here's to 2013!!

Illustration Friday - Highlight

This week's theme is "highlight". Initially I was going to draw a lamp on a ladder, but thought that was too dull. Then I remembered this story that I heard on the radio that made me laugh and it inspired me to draw this little treat. Perhaps I should pitch this as a "happy anniversary" card?

Anyway - happy hogmanay (to the scots) and happy new year (to the rest of you)! All the best for 2012.
