forehead smoochin

Napier and Georgie

Cover your eyes! Too much smoochin' on this art blog. Well, I'm practicing (not kissing for real!). And it's February. I suppose that's reason enough.

'That's very nicely put... Comparing my intellect with a cigarette lighter that doesn't work. That's a very interesting mixture of poetry and meanness.'

I spent the wee hours of the morning watching this and drawing Jimmy, but I never got around finishing the film (thanks, mum! :P). I did, however, find this beautiful radio adaptation of the film from the Screen Guild Theater starring none other than Jimmy and Margaret Sullavan and I had to swoon a bit. Man, he's no Clark Gable or Cary Grant, but if anything could make me go on my tippy-toes and get my heart melting it's gotta be Jimmy's voice. (There's something about that Southern drawl that reduces me into a puddle.)

taro aso v.s. old people

Last week, the Japanese Finance Minister was quoted to have said that elderly people should be allowed to 'hurry up and die' instead of costing the government money for medical care. I ended up drawing about it! Well, initially this was just a warm-up but I spent my free time making it look better and I got this. Watch Taro Aso as he hurls himself towards an elderly Japanese woman with his flaming fist of fury! We also had them up as wallpapers for Tofugu's Sunday News. AWESOME.
