Here's a preamble of sorts to yesterday's post
(I only came across it last night):
I'd never thought of adding labels
to explain my drawings . . .
to explain my drawings . . .
would they help?
Something like, "This is a lady. Her head is a teapot. Her arms are really long. Because she's a teapot. Get it? I have absolutely no idea why she's pukey green."
Hmmm -- I don't know . . . only more confusing?!
(Maybe I'd better just keep working on learning to draw.)
Hope you're
well on your way
well on your way
to a terrific Tuesday!

LOL! I need that cartoon to hang in my cubicle, hole, desk area--whatever at work. Sales reps would appreciate it so much. They bring me orders for tee shirt art that looks very much like that. " Bobcat mascot head; big teeth, blood dripping from fangs, mean eyes, name of school here, but outline in black..."
As long as we're communicating without the need for Vulcan Mind Meld--I'm happy.
And even if the teapot is a bit green, she has wonderfully healthy pink cheeks.
LOL!!!!!!!!!! You don't need labels, Susan! I think your art is brilliant!
I firmly believe that writers should not explicate their own work and neither should visual artists. Your work is just fine without the labels. It makes me happy. Thanks.

I agree with you, Karen!
