Hot Diggety! Illustration friday: Strength

So this is a little ditty for class, I tried to link it to a bigger picture I don't know if it worked, I'm still figuring blogger out. Anyway, this image is called "Burn the British with a Cow" which is Diner-Speak code for a buttered and toasted english muffin. This was so far the best assignment I've ever had in my entire school career. And that's most of my life. I'm also using it as my contribution to this weeks illustration friday. I mean really, look at that cow, his strength and resolve not to even notice that he's being burnt at the stake....

I had a lovely comment on my last post asking if I had a link to bigger pictures, and the answer is: nnnnnnnnnyes! I almost tricked you! anyhoo, night, and doodle. Neither of them are anything special, just doodles really, and slightly frightening ones. And that beautiful magenta pen is a fine tip felty-like marker made by Staedtler. It's called the Triplus fineliner. That link is to the Canadian website, but I'm sure they sell them on the american site too.

I wanted to thank everyone for commenting, it was so nice to know that someone saw my post, and cared enough to say something nice!

I have never heard that expression before. Perhaps they keep those from brits living in the US. Anyway, great illustration. I like your style - have fun at 'college.'
