Art Impressions monthly contest
Good Saturday Evening, Stampers!! This is my first submission for Art Impressions monthly comtest. The theme this month is "set o'wheels: bikes, cars and wagons. As always these characters just crack me up!! I used the Midnight Madness sketch challenge for this week. I decided to move the loopy-de-loopy thingy that was supposed to be in the upper corner to the bottom because I think it looks like dust coming up from the back of the bike and it helps the image give the feeling of movement. Although the embellishments are sprockets, I thought it tied in with the gears of the bike. I think I might send this to my brother as a belated birthday card (June 1). Hey! at least I am still in the same month! The saying says, "Eat your heart out, Lance Armstrong!"

Oh my gosh Karen this is a hoot. I love the lighthearted sense of humor this card projects. You just have to smile...well me anyway cause I am closing in on the age I am going to look like this on my bike!!! lol The only thing is my butt cheeks would be hanging over the seat and this ladies derriere looks high and firm!!! She has one up on me!!!! The gears are a touch of clever artistry. Absolutely adore this. Thanks for the smiles. Great job with the sketch. Thank you so much for playing along with us at the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge.

Love it! They look like they are going to ride right off the card they are going so fast! Great coloring as usual Karen!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is a day-brightener and mood-lifter...I wish I looked that good on a bike!!
ReplyDeleteI like your use of the gears in the corner, and your coloring is great, Karen!!
Hilarious image and so beautifully colored! Extending the image beyond the oval really makes it seem like they are speeding off into the sunset and the sentiment is SO perfect!!
