My submission for Illustration Friday's Sorry is from one of my Marisol greeting cards offering a deluxe car wash on the day of your choice. Hopefully on a sunny day! copyright 1994
Aww. That's so sweet. I love your house in the background, lookin' sad and blue. And doesn't it always seem to happen, that as soon as you wash your car, it rains? I think people in droughts should actually consider washing their cars.
love ur fence it looks like the post or ppl and the rail are arms holding each other and there nodding how soory they all are that it rained on the poor car. mmm maybe im reading to much into it. nice piece
Now! Young lady, that is very cynical... even if it happening here all the time at the moment... I think that is the cloud following me around! Such nice colours, I love it. Never disappointing.
Perfect! You have a perfect illustration for everything! I love how plump the car is and how the house is blue and looks so sad. Gorgeous illustration! Your colors are always so vibrant and just wonderful!
Love the illo. So cute. This is so wierd. We just washed the car and it started pouring rain about ten minutes ago and then I read this post. Funny. The comment above was me. Oops. love
val… great job… and i do love that sympathetic house… i almost wish i could tell if all those flowers were laughing… for some reason i get that feeling from them…
This is great! I love the way you've captured the irony of rain happening as soon as you wash your car...the cloud seems to only be over the car. And the car...it seems to be cowering under the downpour! I love how much personality you give to inanimate objects.
At the risk of repeating what everyone else already said, I just LOVE this! it is SO me. every time it rains I always get a phone call from my dad asking if I happened to wash the car the day before.. :)
It makes me feel sorry for the car, or the car-washer better said. It goes with a dose of self-pity, being reminded that the famous one rain cloud appears over me a lot of the time, too. Only I am a a byciclist. And perhaps its not that I have magnetic powers to draw in rain clouds whenever I go ride the bike, perhaps its rather living in this part of Germany...
I knew you couldn't be stumped! Very cute! And the little house is even "blue", too.
ReplyDeleteThis is very lovely.

ReplyDeleteI like the spongy look of the tires, as if they're soaking up the rain, then growing like one of those dinosaur sponge toys.
ReplyDeleteLove the illo. So cute.

ReplyDeleteThat cloud is being very naughty ! We need some sky police or something, that goes for birds who wanna drop lil' presents on my car...
ReplyDelete:-D

I agree with Janet... that house in the background looks really sorry for the auto. Hope the rainy Sunday in SoCal didn't dampen your spirits.
ReplyDeleteWonderful.

ReplyDeleteLOL! You could give the Disney character animators a go with your car design! Love it.

ReplyDeleteA very lovely card!
Love the little cloud following the car--I've seen a sunny place in a storm and a cloud over just one house. This is cute! Mary :-)
ReplyDeleteLove this card! I feel a bit like the car today.
