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.

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

  20. 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...

  21. ps who would know that texas would have so many birds congregating in one place!

  22. what kind of a creature is that??!?

    seems like a cross between a cheetah and a giraffe... and a man... forgot the face... :P

  36. Willie, this is genious! I love it!!!!

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

  38. 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)
