Illustration Friday - pretend

Sometimes I pretend this is me, and I can run really fast and catch gazelles for lunch. Even though I'm crying.

    Very creative! Poor sad minogiraffe !

    I checked out your flick'r page, and I have to say, your documentary drawings from life are fantastic, it's like eye candy for me.
    You should post them on here as well!!!

    Awesome!

    There is something very Dalhi-esque about it...like his paintings of flaming giraffes.

    came to check out your birds on a wire - holy moley! those are some great photos.
    I don't have a flickr account; does it take up a lot of time? Are you worried about copyrights there? Inquiring minds want to know...

    I've heard gazelle is good with garlic and white wine sauce!

    I dig this piece a lot. It's quite mesmerizing to me.

    that sounds fun, hopefully the being a gazelle chaser, cancels out the crying. I'd like to be a bunny rabbit at the moment.

    I wasn't aware of the existence of crying hyenas. The streaming tears would make hunting difficult!
    Very Lewis Carrollesque.

    I always fall for tears, especially the streaming kind. Hope that red eye is not because of conjunctivitis. If it is, please cry on the opposite corner. (heh)
