Day 5 & 6
A few doodles and sketches and class assignments in progress over the last few days.
One is the “bad” childhood memory, the start of my career as an outlaw bandita. I musta been 3 or 4 and saw my brother with candy in the store. So I reached up and grabbed some gum off the shelf. I apparently didn’t know about the whole ‘buying’ concept, which turned out to be a problem when my mom discovered the gum in my fat little fist about to go into my contented face. I think I had to go in and hand it back. It wasn’t so bad, really, but I remember the whole thing came as quite a surprise to me, and an unpleasant one. Mostly, I chose this topic because I wanted to google pictures of Piggly Wiggly stores. Wish I’d had time to do their logo and lettering justice.
Other sketches are a kaiser roll (see day 4) and idea generation sketches for a book review illustration assignment…the book is about horse races, and involves lots of gambling, addiction, cheating, superstition (apparently nuns in parking lots are bad omens) and racetrack weirdos
