Today is…
(Dancing flowerpot, by carolita johnson)
Today is “Carolita sold a cartoon day!” So, to celebrate, here is a dancing vase of flowers—this scan is all I have left of it now, as I gave the original as a wedding present. It’s one of my very first ink and brush drawings, and the little guy got me through many rough days, always made me smile. I hope it’s not slacking off just because it’s in a happy new home! It must keep on its toes. Goodbye, little dancing vase!
And below is a rejected cartoon, for good measure! It is truly hideous, sorry! But we all have a hideous cartoon or two (or ten) in us, at any given moment. The best place to get rid of them is slipped furtively amongst better efforts. It’s our editor’s job to take this crap from us, to know our best and our worst.
