The Real Ariane Speaks

The “real” Ariane has been sharing her side of her disastrous jogging date with Brian. There was more to it than Brian just being a clueless jerk. She had something… interesting planned. Or so she says, she seems to take some pride in being an unreliable narrator.

For one thing I’m not aware of Maple Lake Park having good thick woods for muggers to hide in.

The Real Ariane tells her story about her and Brian

There’s plenty more of this come… especially what she has planned for poor, poor Olive… but I’ll wait until they fit more into continuity.

Today’s Rhyme “I Washed My Mother’s Dishes” was one of those “when I was young poems. Most of them are pretty uninspiring, but the thing with the fish had possibilities.

Today’s rhyme, Cock A Doodle Doo” gave me too options. The first was from the rooster’s point of view. The other was from the view of the Master and the Dame. I went with the latter because I already had three sketches that were portraits of birds.

Sketch Challenge Day 56 – Baby and I

I found today’s Rhyme, “Baby and I“, confusing. I couldn’t tell if it was about cannibalism or if the narrator was stiffing the baker. I think it’s yet another one where stuff was left out over the years. For the sake of the image I went with the cannibalism. In order to make some sense out of people fitting in pie dishes, I made the baker an ogre.

Sketch Challenge Day 55 – The Dove and the Wren

Today’s Rhyme was, “The Dove says, Coo, Coo, what shall I do”. I was a little worried that would be another one where all I had to do was draw a bird. However then I got to the bit about her being dissed by the wren. This gave it some entertaining depth. I like wrens, they’ve got pluck.

Sketch Challenge Day 54 – Rowley Powley

Today’s rhyme was “Rowley Powley, Pudding and Pie”, better known as Georgie Peorgie.” I wasn’t sure whether to go with a before or after picture, but with already having done a picture of some jerk not taking no for an answer, I went with Rowley running away. Of course in it’s original period the writer probably thought Rowley was a lovable scamp.
