illustration friday: remember
"remember," for illustration friday. pen (uni-ball) on paper.date begun: 1st may, 2007.
date completed: 1st may, 2007.
artist comments: this is a TIFF file scaled down from its original size. kinda blotchy, but it works for me just the same. i drew this while on a three-day retreat to ocean city, md (usa) with my fellow americorps members. i started drawing at maybe 11:00pm, then didn't finish until half past 12 in the morning. the next day we drove back home.
when i was maybe four years old, i came up with the concept of my dream job. i wanted to be an ice cream man, because i thought that on my days off i could eat all the ice cream i wanted. well, nowadays, i don't eat any dairy and i don't want to be an ice cream man anymore. but it's still an amusing notion. this is an 'imaginary self portrait,' depicting me if i had my four-year-old's-mind dream job.

its a lovely dream.... and I know some adults that would still dream it today... *dietary restrictions dont apply in dreams*... I like this guys waiting pose... and that you have him parked at a crossing.. and beside a hydrant... he really has NO cares...
It is a dream job! Very effectively evocative!
oooh I'll have a 'ninety-nine'... or a Fab... hmmmmmm. What a lovely dream to have had.
So, why does your alternate universe self have an interesting look of wistful sadness about him?
Two things about icecream trucks:
one: When the truck is stopped in a neighborhood and arguably all of the local kids are present, why oh, why doesn't he shut off the darn music?
two: on iusedtobelieve.com someone wrote that when they were young their mom told them that when the icecream truck played music, it was out of icecream. Evil...
Amazing line work. I missed this one last week. Very fun blog!
