Momentum


I had sent out an email to my art buddies for their ideas for the Friday Illustration word, "momentum", and while they had good suggestions, the minute I hit the send button, my idea came to me.. It grew faster than I could keep up with it, my idea hurried on ahead of me... growing in momentum until... at last! I saw the beginning, the middle and the end... But this time I was going in yet a new direction... instead of just one drawing, I ended up with five... and then thought that the best way to present it, was in making it into a comic strip...
So here it is, my story of momentum....

Karin,
LOVE this one too! You are so damn clever, but I still like the Alphabet illo, best of all, cause I haven't learned all MY letters yet and I HOPE to one day.

You've got 2 momentums going on there, Karin ... the angst of the snowman and the incredible roll down the hill! Neat that it came to you all at once and you got it out quickly. Yup... cartooning is definitely one of your many talents! Great work! Bonny

Geesh, girlie -- you just keep 'blowing me away'....funny that I just turned a book back to the library about Charles Shultz [one of my favorite people] --- seems like he made a dollar or else 50 cents by cartooning. If you didn't do 'cards' then how about that?? [one of us needs to sell some artwork, doncha know?]
