Hard-boiled chickens

Here's my chickens of the week. These are on time. 




Tardy Pee Wee Herman

Well, well, well. I finally did it. My Pee Wee Herman drawings. Ugh. The good thing about doing these was that I discovered I prefer doing my own work.
Chairy



One of the fish. VERY quick draw.

Globey

Here's Pee Wee Herman. Not so great. Whatever.

So that makes my week of Pee Wee only on week late. Ta da.

Chicken man

Chicken man is a song on the Evelyn Evelyn CD by Amanda Palmer and friend. GREAT CD. This is not that chicken man. This is a man that looks a little like a chicken.

Peewee Herman

What a weird show. But boy did I love it. I don't think we got it on our home TV, but for some reason it was on a lot when we went to my grandma's in Seattle.
I might draw another one, but technically we are already into the next week and need a new theme.

Chairy

Remember Chairy from what's-his-name's show? What is his name? Oh. Peewee Herman. Well, this isn't that. This is the boring chair from our living room that we let the cats sit on. I removed all the cat hair from it, as well as the cat blanket. Also the dangly threads from being used as a scratching post (… cats, you know). And, yes, the cast of cats, Curry and Kickens, are also not there.

Chairy: drawn with a Sanford Uniball ONYX micro point pen, black. It's not a bad pen at all.
I decided to contrast the exquisite and elaborate couch Angela drew with this rather dull chair, and tossed in a Goodwill pillow as fluff, so to speak. Do not underestimate this chair. It is a Very comfortable chair. The cats love it, and so do we.

Couch

A couch. Can't you tell? This actually took about an hour and a half to do. I got carried away, but it was so much fun. I used a 102 nib that I had slapped out of the holder at the side of my desk and bent. Seemed to be able to fix it to a usable level. Didn't want to waste it since it was so new. Yes, a $1 nib. I didn't want to waste.
FYI, it looks even better in person.

Strange drawings of the week

Two chimeras from this week's quick drawing sessions between errands and work and otherwise goofing off. One thing drawing chimeras does is to force you to learn how to say the word, which doesn't begin with "chin," but rather "kim." And the second syllable is accented and sounds like "mare," or so I've been told. English continues to be an odd language.

My sketchbook drawings:
Drawn with a Berol Fontaine pen, which is like a fountain pen.
Drawn with an old ball point pen. It was FREE from some bank.
I call this one a Chimerhen.
That's it for now,
Anita
