TOOT YOUR HORNS!!! CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!!

Ho ho ho my CRAZIES!!!  With Thanksgiving (Sadly) over, we can now properly get into the holiday spirit that most department stores have had displays up for since August!  That's right, I'm talking about Christmas!  I got so many things to do this month, I can hardly contain myself!  I love the festivities of the Holiday Season.  From food to movies and even ugly sweaters, I try to take it all in while I can!  And what better way to start Season's Greetings than with some holiday art?  Enjoy...

This is why it's important to be very clear while requesting props for your Christmas pageant.  Mixed communications can really get messy.  This theme came from the Daily Doodle a while back.  They picked random holiday staples throughout the month and one day settled on "Three French Hens," hence the reason it's out of sequence.  And me being me, I had to play around with which three objects actually show up!  This one was a lot of fun to come up with.  I really love how the kids' expression came out.  Maybe someday I'll do a book of Christmas art.  Could be fun!

And that's all she wrote for November!  Only one month to go in 2016, so let's end it with the best of holiday cheer!  Next week the Christmas CRAZINESS continues with more new art!  I would also like to remind you dear friends to think of others this holiday season.  There are many who won't get to have a tree or a nice meal this month, so if you have some change to spare, drop it in the Salvation Army bucket.  Donate a toy to a toy drive or food to a local food bank.  Spread the love and share the wealth this holiday!  As always, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

THAT BIRD IS FULL OF HOT AIR!!!

WOO HOO!!!  THANKSGIVING IS TOMORROW!!!  Boy oh boy how I've waited for this day!  Granted, I will be on my feet all day today making stuffing, pecan pie and a few other assorted treats and am probably gonna be beat up on the outside, but on the inside, I'm a kid again!  I won't leave y'all hanging.  Most of you got long drives to make today, so here's the conclusion to Tom Turkey's Thanksgiving escape!  Enjoy...

How d'ya like that?  He's slowly getting away!  If Tom can keep away from sharp objects, he might actually be in the clear!  How odd that the farmer would keep an entire tank of helium in the turkeys' pen?  It's like he's tempting them to take creative escape routes!  This art was actually from a Sketch Dailies theme from last November.  It was fun to finally ink and color this one.  With Sketch Dailies and the Daily Doodle both being less active lately, I had to come up with the other three turkey posts this month!  Luckily, I already had a "Big" payoff to work up to handy!

And that's all for this week folks!  Next week kick's off my CRAZY Christmas Countdown, so be sure to come back for some holly jolly fun!  Until then, have a fun, safe and happy Thanksgiving my friends!  Be careful out there on the roads and be especially careful if you're braving the Black Friday crowds!  Take care and I'll catch y'all later!

TIME'S UP FOR TOM TURKEY!!!

ONE!!!  ONE WEEK TO GO!!! AH HA HA!!!  Sorry, was channeling Count von Count there for a second.  Yup, next week is Turkey Day!  And I know how I'll be celebrating: Marathoning all my Joel-Era MST3K episodes for my own personal Turkey Day Marathon!  Oh, I'll also be eating my weight in turkey, ham, sides and pie, but that goes without saying!  Anyhoo, while visions of apple pies dance through my head, take a look at today's Turkey art please.  Enjoy...

Wow!  All that running away from the farmer must have worked off all that bread Tom Turkey gorged himself on!  Good thing that ridiculously large pumpkin was there for him to hide behind!  How will Tom escape from the hungry farmer?  How I ask you?  HOW?!?

Well folks, hate to leave y'all on a cliffhanger again, but that's all the time we have for this week's post!  Do come back next week to see if Tom becomes a free bird or the main course!  The finale may blow you away!  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

GET "STUFFED" THIS THANKSGIVING!!!

Woo hoo!  Two weeks and counting until Thanksgiving arrives!  Oh man!  I better buy some bigger pants!  It'll certainly make life easier for me once the day is through.  While I go out shopping, check out today's Turkey art!  Enjoy...

It was very kind of that farmer to offer Ol' Tom Turkey some bread to eat before the meal starts.  How thoughtful of him!  Wait a minute.  Isn't stuffing usually made of bread?  And why's the farmer holding that...  Oh God Tom!  RUN YOU DUMB TURKEY!!!

Well folks, looks like things are gonna get cut short here this week, but be sure to come back next time to learn the fate of Tom Turkey!  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

TURKEY V PORK: DAWN OF SANDWICHES!!!

Hello my CRAZIES!!!  Do you know what month it officially is?  Why, it's now November which can mean only one thing!  What?  No it ain't Christmas time yet!  You tell Santa to take his chubby butt back to the North Pole and stay there until December rolls around!  Tis the time for Tom Turkey to have his day and make a mad dash from the hungry masses because it's Turkey Day!  Or Thanksgiving for those that didn't grow up watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 like I did.  It's a time for food, family, friends, football and fat bellies after eating all those gut-busting dishes!  But since we got a few weeks until the big day arrives, why not enjoy some festive art while we wait for the feast to start?  Enjoy...

Turkey and Ham.  Two essential pieces to ANY holiday feast when you get right down to it.  Both are simply delicious and can be made in a variety of ways, but is either truly better than the other?  I honestly feel they are as equal as it gets and that both swine AND fowl deserve their respective places on the dinner table come the fourth Thursday of November.  And if you're reading this Austin, don't even THINK of bringing up fish!

Well folks, that's all for this week.  We'll be back next time with some art that'll definitely keep you full until Thanksgiving arrives.  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!
