“Retail Store”
“Does this tail make my butt look big?” Matilda queried the patient sales squirrel.
This is what popped into my fevered mind when I saw the Illustration Friday word of the week was “tail.”
Also, just wanted to mention that I’m getting some pretty cool ideas brewing for PiBoIdMo. A little excited.
Well, I may be falling slightly behind, but my fellow SkADaMoers are kicking some serious squirrel butt over here.
“Car Pool”
Cruise on over here to see some of the other SkADaMo participants.
“Doggie Bag”
Beulah was bullish about hoity-toity bags.
Wow, it’s the SkADaMO 2013′s two week anniversary eve! You should check out what the other doodlers are doodling here!
“Pig Skin”
In an effort to avoid a leathery hide, Winona slathered on the sunscreen!
Come on over here to see what the other SkADaMoers are up to.
Whoops, missed a day! I guess I’m was just a little low “energy”. So don’t get all up on your “High Horse” about it!
Get it? High horse… I was late… and you’re…
It’s funny, trust me.
Cornball jokes aside, why not cruise on by here and check my fellow SkADaMoers!
Just wanted to mention that I seem to be keeping up with PiBoIdMo, a picturebook idea a day so far! Nothing earth-shattering yet, but some fun ideas to riff off of and those daily post on Tara’s blog, “Writing for Kids (While Raising Them) are so inspiring and fun to read!
Also, I tried to slip in a reason to post to Illustration Friday this week, where the word of the week is “energy.”
“Melon Collie”
What’s with all the dogs lately? At least that’s what my cat Iggy seems to be saying, as she stomps across my keyboard. So I added a feline counterpart, for fear of retribution.
So hey, stop on by here and check out what the other SkADaMoers are up to
“Dog Eat Dog”
… and the puns and idioms just keep coming!
Trot on over here to see what the other SkADaMo participants are up to today!
“Piggy Bank Tellers”
Swing by and take a gander at some of the other SkADaMo 2013 participants here.
Yes folks, more tortured puns from a humble April fool.
Quickly eggsecuted and puns intended!

Love puns... I did this using paper and text
Happiest of Holiday to y’all!
JUNGLE BELLS
Super quick sketch today! Off to make merriment!
Speaking of merry, jingle on over here to see what my fellow HoHoDooDa Doodlers are doing!
HIGH ELF ESTEEM
A redraw from last year.
Trying to get back to some sort of normal after the great loss suffered last week.
OH TANNEN-PALM, OH TANNEN-PALM!
Why not hula on over here and visit my fellow HoHoDooDa Doodlers!
Santa doesn’t have an iPhone yet, so he’s taking photos old-school.
For more holiday tom-foolery and frivolity, check out what my fellow HoHoDooDa Doodlers are doing here.
Q: What is a snowman’s favorite breakfast cereal?
A: Snow Flakes.
Shimmy on over here to check out my fellow HoHoDooDa enthusiast’s doodles!
I love a good pun...totally geek out on them. I did this using my scrap papers as patchwork on the fan blades. Then I just used black cardstock for the rest of the fan.
here is one of my paper scrap drawers...SOOOO many!
I love holiday cards. I love getting them, but most of all I like making them.
At least it starts out that way.
There’s the initial concept. Fun!
Sketching it up. Fun!
Drawing, painting, tweaking. Fun! Fun! Fun!
But then, there is the whole standing in line at the post office because I absolutely must have those special snowman stamps.
Followed by an attempt at addressing the cards and the subsequent admitting to people that I wrote their address on a scrap piece of paper last year and my cat batted it under the couch and apparently a spider drug it away to it’s nest, so could you pleeeeeeease give me your address for the fifteenth time… and I promise I’ll key it safely into my iPhone this time!
Couple that with the fact that I waited until pretty much the last minute, even though I promised last year and the year before that and the year… ok, the past ten years that I would start in August.
Before you know it, I’ve got a holiday card meltdown on my hands.
Does any of this sound familiar? Am I alone with this?
Anywho, fun? Not so much.
But despite the griping and moaning, after all is said and done, the truth is, it’s just not Christmas until I’ve sent off all my cards and, of course, I receive that very first card in the mail, be it Christmas, Hanukkah or Festivus (I’m still waiting for my first Kwanza card.)
I just love holiday cards!
It’s tradition! Every bit of it, from fun to meltdown and I hope it never goes away!
Undaunted by the fact that he is now separated , Murgatroyd continues to troll for love.

Busy. Busy. Busy.
Quickly dashed this one off early… pant pant pant.
Oh, and, of course you must stop by Marion and Laura‘s blogs to check out their awesome HoHoDooDa take for the day!
"COW PIE"
(click on image for larger view)
I'm not sure if anyone would really want to eat my cow pie, but I had fun creating it. I've done an entire series of images which I call "visual puns."
You can find more about my cow art and a full explanation of how I created this piece
HERE.
"There are people who strictly deprive themselves of each and every eatable, drinkable, and smokable which has in any way acquired a shady reputation. They pay this price for health. And health is all they get for it. How strange it is. It is like paying out your whole fortune for a cow that has gone dry." ----Mark Twain
Well…I felt I should put something up Halloweeny-related before the day passes. Here’s a greeting card created for RSVP cards. I’m personally not fond of how it turned out (too rigid, too tight, too overworked again–sigh.), but there you have it. And so here, below…A halloween joke/riddle/pun that you can share with someone else on [...]
Looks like he’s winning! lol And I probably would’ve gone for a car-shaped swimming pool!
