I watched the CBS Sunday Morning program and saw a report about Tim Hortons. I had never heard of Tim Hortons. It seems he was an all star Toronto Maple Leaf hockey player that started making donuts in 1964, and now 45 years later has over 3,000 stores in Canada. They are thinking about expanding to the states now. As I watched the report, I had a CRAVING flung on me! Those donuts looked SO good!
If you are curious, you can see the website here. Feel free to send me a dozen if you want, I won't complain... and a cup of Tim Hortons coffee would be nice too... thanks! : )
SocMo likes to juggle donuts and eat them as they go by. Such a wackadoodle!
For most people, putting a square peg in a round hole is an IMPOSSIBILITY... but not for SocMo!
Once again, I am experimenting with Photoshop color while doing something for Illustration Friday. This time I scanned a pencil sketch and colored it with my old Wacom tablet. My first attempt at color didn't turn out very good, so I made another layer and tried again. No attempt was made to make this a finished, slick piece. It's pretty rough, but I got to mess around with some settings on brushes and tried a texture or two... which didn't make the cut. I think I kinda miss my usual heavy black line...
SocMo bought himself some new threads so he can do some social CLIMBING.
For the last two years the New Yorker magazine has had a contest where people can create their version of Eustace Tilley, the iconic dandy of the magazine. I have never participated in the contest, but have wanted to do a SocMo version. This week's IF word gave me the perfect opportunity to try this.
For many years I have gone to a newstand and flipped throug the New Yorker to read the cartoons. They are very topical and usually reflect our culture. If you are curious... you can see the original Eustace Tilley and view all the entries in the contest by CLICKING HERE.

Ah, Timmy's. Yes, in many Canadian provincies, here's a TH on every corner (not so much here in QC but TH is still here). I initially fell in love with their pseudo-cappuccinos. Never have been a big donut fan (but won't say no!).
Good "craving" solution, DJ! Either one came undone, though, or Sock had a little chomp at it. If so, he sure chomps it clean and straight!
PS: LUV CBS Sun Morn show, though miss it most of the time.
I thot you would know about TH. I usually tape Sunday Morning to watch later. Sometimes they have some interesting segments on the arts.
SocMo had his teeth sharpened so he takes nice, clean bites now... : )
I love your illustrations.
Years ago, Wendy's Hamburgers owned Tim Horton's Donuts, until they were spun off into its own company. I had Tim Horton's Donuts several times on trips to Canada. I thought they were awful. Very gritty and grainy and dry.
If you still insist, there are a few Tim Horton's locations in Connecticut.
Thanks, Josh... so far all the reports I have gotten about TH have been similar to yours... not so good.
they sure LOOKED good on TV though...
Nothing beats a Krispy Kreme!
Last friday was National Doughnut Day but I heard it's okay if you make it on any other day you want. Doughnuts are like that, they're just so understanding.
Great Illustration! I really like your stuff, it cracks me up.
I took a trip to Canada last year, where I discovered Tim Horton's. DELICIOUS! But not nearly as delicious as a sock monkey juggling donuts. Great work.
