Spotted

Karen spotted her true love on the other side of the room.

This is my picture for Illustration Friday the theme is spotted. "Spotted" was drawn on the back of a business card, then cleaned up and colored in Photoshop.

When did you first spot your true love? Would you like to leave some love for me?

P.S. Thanks to all of you for leaving some love on my post "Sock Monkey's Paw" and helping make my wish come true.

  • Dang dude, now that looks like a guerilla dating tactic.

    Other's would be dropping a GI Joe into a chick's cocktail.

    or a condom..Giuess it depends on your level of confidence...or their drunkeness.

    When my passenger friend said she knew him I skipped the drive thru and parked the car for fate:)

    love

  • I was in a revolving door that wasn't moving, he saw me, I saw him, he made the evil revolving door move somehow, I thought it was magic, I married him, okey, so i'm not the brightest lightbulb. Spitballs would have been a nice added feature, considering how goofey the situation was anyway. Love your moustache and the LOL illo!

    By Blogger HARDWAX, at 16:18

  • I spotted my true love in college while working at Dennys. He bartender, me waitress...I know so sad and typical. What is NOT though is that it has been 15 years now. So there, much love to you and your illo and this little love fest going on in the comments.
    Well done indeed.

  • LOL, Unknown, she really --spotted-- him. I spotted mine at the seaside watching a boat that was sinking.

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 22:25  

  • Love it.
    I met my wife when we worked at Hardee's on the Indiana Turnpike. She was an assitant manager - I was a crew leader. We talked one night in the parking lot until dawn broke. I thought "hmmmm...this might be something". We will be married 19 yrs this June.

    irvine: Thanks. Well, it was a business card because Gorky was asleep upstairs, where I keep my art stuff, and I didn't want to wake her up. A business card was the only thing I could find to draw on. It was actually only supposed to be a preliminary sketch but I liked it so much I decided not to redo it.
    Look out, true love will get you when you least expect it.

  • Great idea! I first spotted my true love lurking outside Angel tube station in London, twas a good sign indeed. love.

    By Blogger Heartful, at 02:47  

  • Ha-ha that's a way to get spotted. The object seems to be all cool about the spotting though. I spotted my first true love while having a ski jumping contest with the neighbour's boys. When I fell down, one of them came to comfort me and there he was, my first true love. I just heard 2 months ago, he also had fallen in love with me. We never got to be a couple, but that doesn't bother me.

    By Blogger Katili, at 02:57  

  • EWWWW! GROSS!!! Spitballs on the face!

    Very funny, as usual. It's been 10 years for Cathie and I. We met through a blind date. The couple that introduced us is no longer together, but he have weathered the years and are very happy together. Best friends, even.

    Much love!

  • This is fabbity, I snorted aloud (which is complimentary - both free, and it means good/bodes well). No true love, I shan't give up and from now on I will carry a straw and plenty of spit-ball material with me for when I do meet the TL.

  • Oh that's so touching. I don't know if I can tell when I spot my true love:-).

    By the way, Angus must be a very patient dog. He looks cute with all that Easter outfit, but I don't know how he feels inside:-).

    Or was she trying to get his attention?
    Fun fun illo

  • When playful wrestling between the male and female humans is spotted - this is the first sure ritual sign that they wanna be an item. The jury, however, is still out on the significance of 'spit-balling' behavior- anthropologists around the world have been arguing over its significance for decades since first discovering this behavior in Hackensack, NJ. Some say it's connected to a time when some tribes of humans hunted with poison darts, and is a sign that one or the other or both of the animals are actually not interested in mating with the other. Others say it's just like playful wrestling. Others than the others say...---Well---- I can't think of anything- and you're probably tired of reading this.
    Love the illustration and idea- especially the "sigh" part.

    By Blogger AndyDoodler, at 07:24  

  • well, i'll ask my sweet heart to spot me!

    trevor pitt: Hmm... "pooh" is also a fat annoying bear and the sound a spit ball makes when it leaves you McD's style straw. If you don't believe me try it for yourself.

  • This looks like some odd, but strangely satisfying, mating ritual, the "Spot and Mark" first move. She spots him and marks him, thereby insuring that no one else will take him since he's covered with her spitballs. Nice! You gotta love her approach! My true love first spotted me, then I spotted him, and finally we spotted each other...and now we're living happily ever after in our own little spot on our own little planet:>

    By Blogger carla, at 17:17  

  • Karen's true love is a patient man, but you can see in his eyes that her target practice is wearing thin. I like his polka dot tie, too. Peace and love to you.

    Sorry about the above deletion, but I had an unfortunate typo.

    By Blogger Twisselman, at 19:57  

  • Isn't it the guys who are supposed to be shooting spitwads? I am strangely uncomfortable with this drawing! ;>)

    By Blogger Robert McLaughlin, at 21:11  

  • It is remarkable, really… only true love would let you do things like spot him/her with spit wads, duct taping him/her to a wall or convince them to do polka on a tight rope blindfolded. Excellent illo. Much love. While we are at it -- there is love for Gorky, as well as Easter Angus.
