GLAMOUR Illustration Friday

A most glamourous sight
Will appear at night
IT'S COUNT DRACULA
So spectacular
"Would you like a bite?"

In the wind he roams and rants
Dracula is so elegant
"I raise by arms
The cloak of charms
And reveal my underpants!"

Terry's Amazing Technicolour Dream Potato

With carbohydrates do take care
Especially those ones over there
For in that land
The mind expands
And potato hair sprouts everywhere.

Cat Shadarack

While thinking in his tree
Henry's naked suddenly
"Behold this cat
With my Top Hat
He's putting on the stylee."

"Give it back
Ginger cat!"
Terry shouted
Potato mounted
"Or I will attack!"

"Put a sock in it bird-brain
For Shadarack is my name
It's just a trick
And very quick
But potatoes are insane."

"Put it in belly to make you strong
But do not shake it with a prong"
Cried Henry like a freak.
"Take wing and shut your beak
I am Terry and I'm very flippin' wrong!"

Terry's Potato Of Life

Some of Terry's tiny hats
Are dinner for the cheeky cats
But do not woe
"I have a potato
And carbohydrate facts!"

Hot potato once a day
Keep the cats far away.

CATS Illustration Friday

The desire of a cat
Is not fish or a bat
But Terry's plume
Is where they loom
"We must eat your little hat!"

It's the EYE OF THE CAT
It's the THRILL OF THE HAT.

Door World

These can be entered like doors, they're frequently used and are found in people, books, buildings, songs, pictures, dreams and other things. All doors dwell together somehere else away from where it happens, people would be confused otherwise.

To see all things unfurled
Let your hat be twirled
Take a look
Behind a book
Walk into a Door World.

ENIGMA

"I am no Enigma
I am Infinity Person 5
I run my course with nature
And my nature comes alive
For truth is what we conjure"
This is no Enigma
This is Infinity Person 5.

E is For... E.S.P. Illustration Friday

EXTRA SENSORY PIANOS are very well connected instruments which don't need sheet-music. When people play them they are said to become psychics, or "PissEyeChips," as the notes resound through-out the ether. In the past it threw-out the ether.

Physically, they don't exist which makes for a handy travel item, and they certainly do travel. Apart from Science songs, an endless variety of tunes can be played and many people recommend a pair of black silk gloves for the job. Extra Sensory Pianos are a form of communication. A tinkle can keep you in touch.

This is Ethel Ether-Nott
See the piano she has got
There are no seats
It floats down streets
"I seem to get around a lot."

From A Distance

Perspective was first seen by Arkan Long-Barkum who soon lost his. He noticed people would expand when approached then contract at distance. Some would completely vanish whilst others would suddenly appear as dots. Most people could do both. Those at the other end of a queue were always smaller than him, sometimes tiny.
He believed himself to be the only person who kept a consistent size, and published a book entitled "Why Me?" All those who read it began to ask this question of themselves, which heralded an age of confusion.
We had to wait until The Renaissance period for the truth to be revealed, yet to this day there is some doubt as to where perspective comes from.

"I see 'em small I see 'em big
Some are shorter than a twig
I wonder why
It is not I
Who can dance this little jig?"

Come Sweet Slumber

Magic Mary tucks the bed
For magic dreams inside the head
She's such a dude
Completely clued
And eats electric bread.

Moon, Turn The Tides

Horatio Pipp magnetic shoes
Went to sea on a cruise
For the moon when full
Has an extra pull
Which no one can refuse.

SEA Illustration Friday

THE LOST SOCKS OF ATLANTIS were recently sighted by Giovanni Fat-Legs and his friend Terry. "The sea is big the sea is small, it has better socks than the mall," said Terry.

Elephant Days

To dream of elephants and be one
To find I am an elephant's son
Protected by my elephant mum.

This is a colour pencil drawing I've manipulated in Photoshop.

FLAVOUR Illustration Friday

Following the dawn of the frying pan, the diet of the earliest human beings was pancakes. All flavour lay invisible and unknown in the sky until people discovered that pancakes aquire flavours whilst up there. Eventually tastebuds arrived, but before that humans had to absorb flavour directly into the mind before eating if they wanted to taste anything. Now we have the ability to taste with our mouths and eat at the same time. After millions of years of pancake making most flavours have transferred from the sky to the ground and spread everywhere since, creating a wider veriety of edible things. People still make pancakes but there's not much flavour in the sky anymore, that's why we have ceilings now.
