Summer Bee Chase – Magazine Illustration
My latest magazine illustration assignment for NH Magazine. I thought for *sure * this one would come back for a little editing due to the amount of exposed skin, but nope… they’re pretty liberal over in ol’ New Hampshah.
Here’s an excerpt from the article… Dancing With Yellow Jackets by Mary Broadbent
Then I felt it. It was like someone had driven a nail into my shoulder. “AHHHHH!” I cried. Grace gaped at me. “Run!” I said. “AHH! AHH! AHH!” I yelled as more stingers got me. “Take your shirt off!” yelled Tom from down the trail. I whipped off my shirt and joined the dance, a fast and painful dance with no room for modesty.
Finally, we outran the little %#$@*%! I tried to catch my breath between hysterical giggles. “You’re not dressed.” said Grace. “Nice bra,” said Tom. With my arms, I covered the only flimsy lacy bra that I own. Why didn’t I wear one of my sports bras? “Ow! Ow!” Grace yelled grabbing her legs.
The dance was not over. I ran to her, and whipped off her pants full of angry yellowjackets. “Run!” we all said. We took off again, the half naked clan. We stopped by a large boulder. Tom stared down at the back of my sweatshirt that was still around my waist. “Get it off!” he yelled. It was covered in dance partners.
Grace and Tom ran away. I whipped it off and another yellowjacket sank its little nail gun into my back. “Owww!” I cried as I accomplished a running jig. One last set and the dance was done. The dogs had raced along, stopped, raced along again and stopped each time we did for the entire dance. “What fun!” their slobbery happy faces said. They had somehow escaped the painful part of the dance.
Yes, that’s right… I do get paid to do this.

Watch a Video of Richard Thompson Drawing Alice from his Cul de Sac Comic
Here’s a cool little video of Richard Thompson drawing Cul de Sac's Alice character… I like his quirky style and how he goes straight to ink with no preliminary pencil work. That’s confidence. :-) I always get a kick out of watching other artists draw. I should get off my butt and post more of my own drawing videos.
If you don’t see the video above, click here to watch it.
Cognitive Surplus by Clay Shirky… How *DO* you find the Time??
The next time someone sarcastically replies to one of your projects or blog posts by saying “Well… it must be nice to have so much time on your hands.” Send them this video by Clay Shirky, author of “Here Comes Everybody.” It should have an impact since most of the people who give you this back-handed comment are usually the one’s watching 40 hours of TV per week.
Clumsy Illustration of an Attacking Evil Red Squirrel
Today's Illustration Friday topic is "Clumsy." Here's an illustration I did a while back for New Hampshire Magazine that fits the subject. I get pretty clumsy too when crazy red squirrels run loose in my bedroom.
