so I dug into my filing cabinet and unearthed some old "idea" folders.
You have those, don't you?
Those file folders stuffed with scribbles and bits of brilliant ideas for illustrations? I have tons. Every now and then I shuffle through them and unearth gems.
Like, who is this guy? And why did I save him?
This I do remember. An idea for a greeting card. "Cakehenge". You know, like all the candles are around in a circle on the cake like Stonehenge...hmmm, no? Ok, well I have others.
This guy with the baseball cap and sandwich. No doubt he was part of some clever piece that never went anywhere. (I just noticed there's not even an arm holding the sandwich, its just kind of levitating there in front of his mouth.) I think he deserves two question marks. ??
These little guys were going to be a Christmas card I think. All the cats caroling. This could actually maybe sorta kinda go somewhere. The one with no ears is a little disturbing though. And there's one cut off on the left that looks angry. An angry caroller? He's earless as well. hmmm....
And this. I was watching "Gosford Park" and scribbling notes on costumes. Sort of in the dark. Preeeeetty sketchy. But I'm actually glad I found this because I've been wanting to do something with this theme.
There's a lot more where these came from. A lot. But I'm not showing you the good stuff. What? so you can steal my ideas and go make yourself a fortune in licensing? Its bad enough I gave you that Cakehenge idea. And the guy with the sandwich. Hey, if you can make him into a goldmine, he's all yours.

Finally- fame and wealth are within my grasp...just wait until the world embraces SANDWICH GUY!™
Thanks, Paula!
Whaaaat? You're REALLY giving away "cakehenge"? I dunno if you should do that...somebody could turn the whole theme into the next hot Reality TV show with half-clad, twenty-something bakers in stilletos running around a kitchen. Sweeeeet, eh?
