Deep in thought

By That's life

i dry therefore I am thinker style

I always thought that Rodin was inspired by Descartes,

the French philosopher famous for the quote ‘I think, therefore I am’. However, Google suggested I was wrong. Still, it’s undeniably a good plug for my latest ‘Art of Series’ work starring Rodin’s Thinker.

What’s your favourite piece of art or artist?

In need of enlightenment?

Spiritual enlightenmentWhen it comes to quotes of spiritual inspiration, can you possibly go past Gandhi?

Live as if you were to die tomorrow; learn as if you were to live forever

And now for an e-plug for someone of today who inspires me with their interpretation of quotes – Gavin Aung Than of ZenPencils.  Not that he needs it – he’s living comic superstar who brings famous quotes to visual life through his amazing comic work. I had the pleasure of meeting him in person last year at the Australian Cartoonists Association yearly conference. I almost got close enough to rub shoulders.

So what’s your favourite quote?

Don’t be shy; we all need a bit of inspiration. Share.

 

The last straw

The straw that broke the camel's back

Whilst drawing this cartoon I couldn’t help but think…

that this would make a fantastic real life starter pack for all the new relationships out there. I mean, you can get His and Hers towels. Everyone carries a secret His and Hers baggage full of delights to share and discover during the course of the relationship. Then why not a His and Hers set of straws? At least you’d know where you stood.

What do you think? The next must have product for couples?

catching thoughts literally

I can see why you would leave ‘Check emails’ behind, but ‘Ring in-laws’…That’s dangerous to leave behind!

What thoughts could you happily leave behind?

 

Merry christmas tree

Christmas tree of angels

I’ll be going on holidays in 2 more days and have run out of cartoon drawing time, so I’ve recycled a Christmas one from last year.

Merry Christmas and safe holidays. See you in the new year.
