So I am in the hospital waiting room when this guy walks in and sits down, takes out his cell phone and starts playing a game and is totally self-absorbed - enjoying his online popularity. So I got out my sketch book.

Illustration Friday: Forgotten

All night long, Billy superstitiously touched his nose and stared at the light in an effort to remember the location of his forgotten, but precious, Lando Calrissian action figure.

Illustration Friday: Baby

Call it 'urban armor' if you want, but for Meryl, it took wearing her Manolos and carrying her Louis Vuitton to prevent anyone from calling her THEIR 'baby'.

Illustration Friday: Wide

If it weren't for his good breeding and of course, public perception, the hungry wide-eyed Prince might have thrown caution to the wind and had certain friends for dinner anyway... just this once.

Illustration Friday: Electricity

Carlos de las Aromas knew he was muy guapo in his performance tux - but that was nothing compared to the raw talent he displayed when he hit his signature low g-flat causing women to faint, men to quiver, and his own heart to jolt with electricity.

Illustration Friday: Seed

The future president of 'Amy's Immaculate Itinerants', began her on-the-job-training at the tender age of eight, by persuading her visiting cousins to clean her room and organize her dollies - simultaneously becoming the family's 'bad seed' and, ironically, the eventual bread winner.

Illustration Friday: Primitive

Even though Ulu practically wrote the book on particle physics and was a whiz at roller boogie, the folks at National Geographic still considered him primitive.

Illustration Friday: Fail

Having convinced his son that he was indeed Captain Never-Fail, it was finally time for Gregory to go to the kitchen to make macaroni and cheese - without a recipe - using only his super daddy powers.

Whenever Melvin bought his girlfriend flowers, he always saved one bloom for himself - so he could privately revel in his secret crush on Natalie Portman.

Illustration Friday: Homage

The critics thought her extensions were fabulous; even though midway through her touching homage to the gifted Anna Pavlova, the cool theatre air told Edie the Russian gorilla that she forgot to put on her ruffled diaper underpanties.

Illustration Friday: Pet Peeve
Unfortunately, Cynthia experienced a little daytime acid reflux as Paul described the beauty of 'Lawrence of Arabia' because all she noticed were her two pet peeves; nostrils you could drive a truck through and spinach teeth.

Illustration Friday: Heavy

Jenny decided her right boot wasn't so heavy after all ...after she resolved that more direct foot contact with her cheating boyfriend's rear end would be required, later that afternoon.

Illustration Friday: Garden
Multitasking, she had tried to hold Willie her cat, while jumping rope and going down the slide. 'A gross miscalculation', Penelope thought as she jettisoned toward Grandma's garden border.

Illustration Friday: Leap

It was with great trepidation - and wonderment - that thirty-two year old, crazy-haired, suburban Peter, finally took the big leap and stared directly into his future.

Illustration Friday: Multiple

Business saavy was Jason's strong suit. So he copyrighted the asterisk symbol for 'multiply' and carefully guarded it with his homemade, multiple-eyed, multi-armed, biomechanical robot. If his fourth grade teacher Miss Treacle, and the world for that matter, was going to make him do math, someone was going to have to pay.

Illustration Friday: Theory
The theory is that in our cities, we've got monsters (huge crocodiles, radioactive rats... and God knows what else) living in our sewers. So beware. And watch your step.

Illustration Friday: Choose
Unknowingly on the cusp of establishing a lifelong pattern, Christopher found it hard to choose; eat carrots loaded with antioxidants and Vitamin A - or eat his favorite ice cream sundae loaded with pleasure beyond reason.
(Okay, so Illustration Friday has this theme for this week: choose. So I figure, what is a temptation we can all relate to?)
