I agree, it is confusing. Should have put some explanation with the picture other than a poem thinggie. (A poem that's not funny neither.)

Boney animals look so pulled down by gravity, you know? Their bones stick out and up (especially shoulder and hip bones), leaving the rest hanging. This goat's collar looks so heavy it pulls down her neck. But no, that's just the neck of one boney goat. The original photograph is from National Geographic magazine. They have wonderful animal photos I sketch off all the time.

Goats are funny though. Except that I suffer from a disabling brain problem where, in real life, I can't tell the different between a goat and a sheep. If it has horns it's a goat.

Anizo 100% Reality Mind

“Anizo 100% Reality Mind.” What this means, I have no idea. A friend found it living in a vending machine on the street in China and brought it back to Boston for me. The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks. The warning printed on the paper insert commands, “Do not use as lifeguard equipment.” Anizo and I, we’re inseparable. Anizo 100% Reality Mind!

Illustration Friday: Hide

Image
Maurice’s cunning helped him evade that hungry field sparrow, and in doing so he discovered something new: his special affinity for flowers. He decided to go for it. He attained his Master’s Degree in floral arrangement from Chicago School of Flower Design. Today Maurice owns and manages a successful retail floral operation behind the shed there, to the left of the plastic green leprechaun. This is my drawing for the Illustration Friday ( IF website ) assignment, this time to illustrate "Hide". Click it for a bigger version.
