Illustration Friday: Drifting
The heat of the summer has me drifting off to nap time, when I should be working. If you can call drawing funny pictures "working". Thankful for the work.
Great image! I look just like that in one of the few baby pictures of me which exist. I was born in Florida but am totally heat intolerant. Send the thermostat to Scotland.
At first I thought this was going to be a Sponge Bob illustration but was delightfully suprised at the melting thermometer dude. Too Cute. We have the air on here in Dubuque.
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.

I've never seen a thermostat with so much emotion! And it's cute, too! Well done, Bill.
You wouldn't be so hot if you lived in the UK. Great illustration.
I think you have OUR heat. It is still so cool...almost COLD up here in the northeast.
Your illustration is so well done... very expressive.

Great Illo Bill! send some of that heat our way.
I don't mind melting, if I have sunshine, it's the rain and heat, which makes me crazy! Wonderful illustration and quite original!
