The Bean Feast

A Bean Feast is the middle-ages equivalent of the office holiday party. The landowner or baron would throw a big banquet for the villains - excuse me, peasants - and everyone would frolic and have a grand time, including searching for the magic bean hidden in the cake. Whoever finds the bean gets to be the Bean King!!!

To learn more about the game hidden in this Bean Feast, click the picture!

Twittens: A Forgotten Era

Appropriately enough for the theme of "forgotten" i forgot to post this illustration of bygone times last month. My cousin challenged me to draw the Twittens without my even knowing what they were, but my imagination ran inappropriately rampant. so in the end i looked online and found out that twittens is an old (english?) word for area of narrow alleyways. apparently many cities have twittens, and this one is based on a photo I found in York. i doubt anyone would recognise it though, as the place occupied by a nest of pigs in my illustrations is in fact an outdoor fitters store in real life.

For those of you with a bit of time on your hands, see if you can trace the love octagon. most of the people in the picture are in love with someone who loves someone else. You can tell whom they love by looking at their eyes. Happy mediaeval Friday!

Midget Viking Warrior and the Pumpkin

A picture done for my brother's rough 'n' tough biker gang.

The picture was supposed to be about the Midget Viking Warrior (Hi Ernie, you don't mind if this gets all over the web, do you?) but that huge orange "bike" (Really, can you honestly call it a bike when it's that big?) just took over the road. I just did this yesterday, and today's theme is "wide" so I thought I'd share it.

The scene here is pictured just before the Harley broke down, and just after the Harley broke down.

Charter Street Playground - Kindergarden

I saw the charter street playground for the first time when the kindergardeners were out playing in the yard. Every single child had a hat on. I don't know if it's kindergarden policy so they can keep track of their kids, or if the children of Boston's north end are very sun sensitive. Anyway, the "garden" is all brick paving, but with the bushes, trees, and park benches it's a lovely place - not at all the "concrete jungle" it sounds. I thought that big people should be able to play here too, not just the wee ones.

leap
for illustration friday

in india last month a pregnant bengal tiger was chased up a palm tree by terrified villagers. she was rescued (after being tranquilised), treated for injuries, and released into a tiger preserve. i saw a photo of her at the moment of her release. she was in a cage on a boat, and the door of the cage opened over the side of the boat, which was in shallow water (a foot or two). the boat was loaded down with people, and the door was opened. she leaped, swam to the shore, and made for the sanctuary of the forest. Thank you, tiger rescuers.
