This is the last of the Hawai’i sketches, but you can see various photos of wildlife and scenery from the trip at Rosemary’s blog and my Flickr photostream.

Saw a bunch of turtles in Hawai’i.
(Some artistic license has been taken in this representation, however.)

Being back from Hawai’i seems to dictate a few appropriately-themed posts, so here’s the first. It’s from a sketchbook I had brought in the hope of getting a couple quickish drawings done while on the island for just such a purpose.
This one is just of a decorative pole outside the visitor center for the first national park we came across on the way down from the airport. Nothing says “welcome” like a carving of a demonic worm, you know. (Except maybe a carving of a severed head atop a stack of papayas, which is what this might also be.)

Harold “The Twilight Trench Coat” Johnson never quite understood the gravitas required for his chosen line of work.


The hip sunglasses only add to its deadliness.

So, here’s another design entry for Red is White.
Originally I had wanted to do a more literal illustration of the Jonah story, but then Rosemary suggested having an actual x-ray view, which of course immediately bumps us into the realm of the metaphorical. Luckily, though, Jonah’s situation can also be applied to other circumstances, so that’s the direction I went.

Anyway, go take a look at the design, give it a nice rating if you can, and leave a comment if you feel so inclined.
Be warned, however, that my posse of Cyber-Hessians stand ready to rebut any wonton negativity with their own intricate comments on the subject of T-shirt perfection as it relates to whales and/or little bathroom-sign men.
Just thought you should know.
