Illustration Friday - Memories

"Star Gazing in Grande Prairie"
Medium: brush tip felt marker
My best girlfriend and I curled up under sleeping bags, tucked in against the biting frost in the October air. We toasted good times with a couple bottles of domestic beer which we sipped from wine glasses to class up the occasion a bit. And we sat in awe of how fast 20-some-odd years have flown by, as we watched the sky for shooting stars and satilites.
That's one of my favorite memories.

Illustration Friday - Routine

"It became all too routine, for me n' Jean
To go down by the ravine and eat poutine."
Medium: ball point pen sketch, digital colour.
In the event that you're not familiar with this French Canadian culinary delight, poutine is a serving of french fries and cheese curds topped with steaming hot gravy to make the whole concoction melt together.
To be honest, I haven't had poutine in years and years. But strangely it seems to come up in conversation a lot. I think it's just one of those words that's just too fun to say: "Pooh-Teen". It came up again while we were at the cottage this past weekend.
