Memories.
Fascinating phenomenon: The older I get, the fewer memories I have! And like many of us, the fondest memories are often of vacations. I vaguely remember having a vacation. But oh, if my luggage could only talk!
This weekend we're driving to Detroit for a wedding. Vacation? Detroit? Hardly. More like punishment for unrepentant sin. Maybe Mr. Suitcase will have a good time.
While spot on - your illo does not leave me looking forward to my impending road trip with my parents this weekend. I can just see our luggage making a break for it... I'd like to join it to be honest, four hours in a car with my mum reading every billboard along the side of the road? No thanks.
Anyways, fantastic job - I love the style and the composition.
Love this drawing and can share the problem with trying to remember what memories means! It depends on where you are driving to Detroit from; there are lots of cool places on the way to Detroit, like Harbor Springs.
once I looked in my rear view mirror and saw my suitcases skating down the road behind me like hockey pucks. Not much fun for Mr. Suitcase THAT day....
I was born to, and raised by two very caring humans on Flora Street in Wichita, Kansas who did the best they could. During my childhood, my uncanny drawing skills kept me safe in the hood. Then, after serving several arduous years at Wichita State University, my toughness and cleverness that I acquired on the streets of Wichita enabled me to escape from Wichita under a tarp in the back of a southbound livestock/art supply truck. Nestled between a pig and a pile of 11"x14" spiral bound sketchbooks I found myself seeking my fortune in Dallas, Texas. Though my fortune eluded me, I did manage to have a great time drawing funny pictures for a lot of fine folks in that fine city. I was later fortunate to make the brilliant decision to move to Nashville, Tennessee, the greatest city on the planet. I know, that's a debatable assessment of Nashville, but I really, really like it here. I'm convinced that if I could sing, play an instrument, or were good looking, I could be a country music star. Till then, I make my living drawin' funny pictures, and painting rectangular paintings.
