Bad Art I Am Compelled To Share

Tea

This is my picture for Illustration Friday, the theme was tea. "Tea" was drawn on the back of the August 13 page from an old Get Fuzzy desk calendar. I sketched this one quickly with a pencil, then inked over it with my gel roller and then I colored it with Photoshop.

Nothing beats a cup of tea and the paper first thing in the morning. What flavor do you prefer? Church, Tit or Field?

Actually, I prefer coffee. Do you love tea? Will you leave me some love?

  • What a hoot! Mouse tea. I'll take coffee thank you.

  • Field. Definitely field, they have more robust flavor, and their tails are longer, so you can brew an extra large cup… Love. Lily.

  • I have to be honest - I prefer the more robust flavor of an old wharf rat, but I suppose I'd settle for church in a pinch. Of course, nothing really beats coffee.... Be that as it may, I do love your illo, and more important, Mr. Cat looks like he loves his tea!

  • I feel lost at the bottom of this list... anyway, LOL! I love the concept. Nothing morbid about it -that's just how nature works. I'm guessing he's out of nip tea.

    By Blogger Unknown, at 17:39  

  • I don't know, yes, i'm thinking i'll stick with a nice mug of chai, or the occasssional coffee,
    don't think i'll be experimenting with new flavors, especially if they sound like they might have a rodent history. Having said that, LOL, and your artwork is so fine.

  • He should grind up some catnip and stick it in a teaball. It's a win win situation. The mouse will have far less pain as he is steeped, probably go out smiling, AND the cat gets very smooth cuppa'.

    By Blogger Roz Foster, at 09:39

  • awesome, made me laugh! mice always seem to get in the dunk, at least in nursery rhymes and the like. So it makes sense that they would be tea.

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 18:24  

  • Hey, if you wanna antique your mouse, dipping him in tea is a GREAT idea!
