This week’s Illustration Friday topic is “wrinkles“, so I thought I’d post a sketch of an upcoming cartoon I have in the queue.

I already have a gag in mind for this but it definitely could be better, so post your idea in the comments area below! The winner will get the original sketch signed by yours truly!

So you know… my sketches are in pretty high demand these days… you could easily turn around and sell this for $1.50 on ebay. Easy money kids!

FIRE AWAY!

Here’s an earlier cartoon from Blaugh.  Sometimes Chris is good enough to let me write a gag every now and again, this was one of those times.  I thought it also fit nicely with this week’s Illustration Friday topic: “Trouble.”   Hard to say who’s in more trouble here, the kid or the dad. I’m going with the dad.

Btw… did you know you can run automatically updating daily Blaugh cartoons on your website or blog? Check out our nifty little cartoon widget here… Comes in 5 convenient sizes!

This week’s Illustration Friday topic is “Speed.” And as the turtle sketch below suggests, speed is relative. Sometimes your clients don’t see it this way though. Slow speed is still speed! Don’t discriminate!

I guess you can take this week’s Illustration Friday topic , simple, two ways. Either as intellectually simple or the visually minimalistic route. Since I’m betting most artists might take the minimalist approach, I thought I’d go with intellectually simple. You know what they say… stick with what you know…

If anyone else took this approach, feel free to leave your link in the comment area…
