A Classic

This next drawing is something I've been doing for many years. It's one of my very first classroom cartoons I suppose. I remember I started drawing this because I had a book that told you what your doodles meant and I didn't really have any doodles besides squiggly lines, so the next time I was bored I decided to draw something and this is what came out of it:


It's a beautiful ocean scene with writing in the sand. A happy starfish is sunbathing on a rock while a sea snail scoots along the ocean floor and a school of fish do whatever it is schools of fish do. Further out in the ocean we see a dolphin jumping and frolicking around while a big blue whale just chills. I have many different versions of this drawing in my notebooks.

If you're wondering what that writing is, it's a description of ham in a can for my advertising class.The best descriptions are crossed out thought, including "cat food", "gross/vile" and "speckled". It's too bad I didn't get the next line in the picture though because it's the best part, it says "apocalypse/ bomb shelter ready". And honestly, the makers of this ham in can should totally hire me because I've thought of a bunch of commercials and ads they can use regarding the apocalypse and bomb shelters.

On another note, I'm totally curious about where that doodle book is now and what it would say about the drawings I do now....
