Ieeeeeeeiiiii! Cabin fever, spring fever and prison break fever all combined. I look out my windows and see blooming tulips, daffodils and Weeds. I am pawing the floor. Let me outta here. Four more weeks in the house.
This is an illustration I did recently for Tom Douglas's calendar (Tom of the fabulous restaurants, cooking fame and one-time Iron Chef). Several artists contributed to the calendar, and mine was the month of September. The illustration was supposed to be about one of Tom's favorite recipes, and his September recipe was full of tomatoes, garlic and olives and beef. Well, of course I thought of Ferdinand the Bull, and to get him energized, I had to sting him with the mythical bee.
BTW, the first scream in my blog is an actual word. I heard it spoken/screeched for the first time when I was riding a provincial bus in the Philippines. We rounded a corner on the wrong side of the road and barely missed another bus. We cringed by the bus by going off the road and went lurching madly through a ditch. Everyone, including me screamed Ieeeeeeiiiiii, the bus righted itself, and continued to barrel on down the road.
I always thought that kind of scream was just invented by the writer of "Terry and the Pirates".
