Correction

Word OUT

I've just been corrected, Bell did not invent the telephone, he only patented it. It seems as though AGB was a bit of a slimy opportunist... well I guess I learned two things today

I Learned Something New Today...

For the word TELEPHONE I decided to draw Alexander Graham Bell, who invented it.  What I learned was, his mother and wife were both deaf, which is why he was interested in experimenting with hearing devices.  The result of all of his research resulted in the invention of the telephone!    He refused to have a telephone in his study because it annoyed him. I'm pretty sure he started working immediately on inventing the answering machine.

Sketch for the word TELEPHONE

Christmas in July

I have been coming across the word DRESS on my list now for a couple of years.  Every time, drawing a big blank.  Maybe because I don't wear them much, I don't know, just couldn't bring myself to draw a dress.  Then, plink! an idea!  The sentence will be, "She loved her new Christmas dress."  A lot of times if I stop trying to think of an idea, somewhere in the back of my brain the mulling process starts.  When I get back to it I'll get an idea, although two years of mulling is a little ridiculous.

DRESS

Fairy Tales

Word: LIE

One way I used to get ideas was to list some fairy tales or known characters from children's stories. These are a couple of examples.

Word: WOLF

Word: DRAW

This drawing was inspired by my friend Tuko who lives in Hawaii.

I took my work to the beach this past Wednesday, as planned.  There was only one problem, I took my sketch book out of my bag, looked at the list of words, then put it all back in my bag, rolled over on my towel, and took a nap.  So much for my mobile office.

Word: SUMMER

SUMMER

It's summertime here in San Diego.  Let's see, what would I rather do...sit at my desk and work... or go to the beach ?  Luckily, I have the best job in the world because I don't have to choose.  I just take my work to the beach! I have to admit though, wouldn't it be so nice to have everyone in the world stop working for the summer?  No bills, no worries, no work. We could all be kids for July and August.  Discuss amongst yourselves.......

Word: CONTINUE

CONTINUE

I'm back!  I just finished another batch of words, which brings me to a grand total of 800!  I haven't really taken the time to look back at the entire 800, but... man, that's a lot of drawings.  Now to get started sketching the next 100.  I hope somewhere in my little brain are a few more fresh ideas.
