Random Chicken Post...
Stumbled upon this one while creating the drawing below...

Chicken with a hair tye... She wears it well.
Her name is Wilma. Photo was posted by her owner, Cindy, as a part of the BackYard Chicken's Crested Chicken Contest.
If she didn't win I will be quite disappointed.
HONOURABLE MENTION GOES TO...

To my knowledge, the above chickens were not a part of the Crested Chicken Contest like Wilma but I think they could benefit from some hair accessories as well...

Pink-a-licious Birthday Wishes...
This past weekend I joined in a very Pink-a-licious party in celebration of my Niece's 5th birthday! Everything was pink, themed after the fantastic book, Pinkalicious by Victoria Kann. It was a very cute party.
The illustration above was on my pink-a-licious birthday card to Ella, with all her pets taking part in the celebration ♥ -♥ -♥

Quote of the Week...
"Don't play for safety - it's the most dangerous thing
in the world."
in the world."
This week's quote was actually from my birthday fortune cookie earlier this month. Such a wise cookie...
*Belated birthday wishes go out to my birthday buddies, Jon Bon and Dr. Seuss.
And on that note, a little Bon to take us to the end...

Fun with the Winter Saucer...
- click on image to enlarge -
With the winter season upon us, this week's Illustration Friday topic, FORWARD, got me thinking of tobogganing and winter saucers in particular.
The thrill you get going down the hill which quickly turns to terror as your saucer spins you in the opposite direction and you continue at full speed down a steep hill, facing the wrong way.
Aw the fun of winter :) Hope you enjoy!

Happy 2012!
I must say, it's been a bit late start on the January blog posts which also means some very belated new years wishes!
I hope everyone's having a great start to 2012!
This drawing is for this week's IF topic: TWIRL (almost didn't get it posted in time.. very borderline...).
Great to be posting again! Until next time ;)

Holiday Movie Watching: Home Alone
During the Christmas season, one of my must-watch Christmas movies is Home Alone. A definite classic, plus Marv's scream gets me every time.
And so brings the inevitable debate...
Marv's All-Time Best Scream: Tarantula vs. Bird Swarm.
The tarantula scream is just a great scene all together: Scream paired with Marv crow barring Harry
"Harry... don't move..."
"Marv..."
"Don't... move..."
"Marv, what are you doing... Marv..."
"Don't... move..."
"Marv, what are you doing... Marv..."
But the bird swarm scene has so much heart to it. Marv emerging from being mauled by pigeons to let out the most perfect scream of terror/hilarity. A great final way to catch the bad guys.
It's a tough call...
Below are the video clips links from both scenes cued up for your enjoyment. I'd love to hear which side you're on :) Enjoy!

P.S. While creating this post, I couldn't find a pic of Marv's bird scream scene but I DID come across Home Alone 2 trading cards by TOPPS Trading Cards 1992. Who knew?
