The following is a list of all entries from the Food category.
Nothing New Under The Sun
Colored pencil on bristol board.
I wonder if even bunnies get tired of eating carrots.
Empty Shell
Colored pencil on standard sketchbook paper.
Lately, I have felt like a shell of myself.
You Can Lead A Horse To Water…
Marker and rollerball pen on standard sketchbook paper.
With this week’s Illustration Friday topic being water, I thought I would make a new twist on the old saying, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.”
Gum Burst
Ordinarily I don’t do posts like these, but these have an interesting backstory.
Last week’s Illustration Friday topic, Burst (of course, it wasn’t last week’s *yet* when I started), seemed like a good one to try for myself, but I wasn’t initially sure how to go about it. Having been in the Badlands that Friday and having seen some around, my first thought was a grazing bison about to explode, a la Mr. Creosote in “The Meaning Of Life”. Unfortunately, the bison I ended up drawing did not look like it was about to burst. My next thought was a grazing cow (which I also saw a lot of) with an overly full udder, but I felt that wasn’t convincing enough of a burst either.
A few days later, it started to hit me the trip would soon end, and I brought a smiling toy moose into the hotel with me for cuteness. It then hit me to draw the moose making a bubble from gum.

Since the full bubble still did not look enough like it was about to burst, I decided to draw the aftermath the next night.

I felt this was too good an idea not to do in color on bigger paper.

Fish Fry
Marker on standard sketchbook paper.
Originally I planned to name it “Saturday Night Fish Fry” (after the Louis Jordan song), but I wasn’t sure how to accurately express night, so I made it so it could double as a Sunday morning fish fry.
Stuck Tongue
Light cerulean blue, canary yellow, and black colored pencil on white copy paper.
Inspired by this week’s Illustration Friday topic.
Late For Breakfast
Pencil on white copy paper.
Many of my coworkers (and classmates, before them) have always had the same food and/or drink, from the same restaurant, every morning. I prefer variety.
Spill The Water
Pencil on white copy paper.
I apologize for being quiet lately, but I recently started a new job which has tired me out.
