Illustration Friday - Detective

This is my illustration for the "Illustration-Friday" website. This weeks topic is detective. When I visualize a detective he is Sherlock Holmes. Not the cool Robert Downey Jr. version but the Basil Rathbone version. You can smell the dusty tweed jacket when you see him on the silver screen.

If-Friday -> Linked

Hi all...This IF-Friday Illustration is now my Illustration-Sunday. When I thought of 'linked" the concept of links (Scottish slang for a golf course) came to mind. So I illustrated a fantasy golf hole. Since I don't golf (unless you count a rigorous 18 holes on the mini-putt) I like to see golfers in difficult situations. I can imagine a 14 year old boy at the bottom of the hole making a fortune collecting lost golf balls.

Illustration Friday - Dip

This is my Illustration-Friday submission for April 9th, 2010. The topic is "dip".
I remember as a small child going to the circus and seeing a man climb up a tall ladder to reach a platform from which he planned on jumping into a small tub of water. It was frightening for me. My father told me not to worry, the man was just going to take a little "dip". So that is the memory I have with the word "dip". (I closed my eyes tight, and so never did see the spectacle - I opened my eyes at the sound of a roaring crowd.
