This is the latest frame in a cartoon strip that I've been slowly creating called The Adventures of Pig and Bear.

IF: Sail
I brainstorm a lot on paper before beginning any artistic endeavor. Today I was thinking about how to illustrate the I.F. challenge of the week: sail. Above is the third idea I came up with after 1) a mermaid in the bathtub with a toy sail boat, and 2) Cthulhu about to devour a real sail boat (both hastily drawn in ink on post-it notes, like this one). Both had potential, but neither amused me so much as Kramer sailing out a window to catch a bird.
My plan had been to come home from work and create the "real" I.F. drawing on nice paper with a nice pencil and then paint it nicely with nice watercolors. That, I thought, would make a great I.F. contribution! But once I got home and brought out my art supplies, I realized that this is the real drawing. I created it spontaneously and without any expectation of greatness, and I just love it.
I wish art always happened this way.
