The real Ariane (or at least her lazy artist) shared this cool piece of work showing exactly what she thinks of poor Olive providing Brian’s security… In other words exactly what she fears… (well probably not quite, since Rowan didn’t tell her who “she” is.)
Ariana Eldar: Poor-poor Olive. So much for that bodyguard-shoggoth-poo
I don’t have much to say about today’s rhyme, “The Old Man With Five Hens”, unless it was somehow a riddle since no matter how I looked at it there seemed to be more names than the stated number of chickens.
Today’s rhyme, The Tailor’s Courtship, had me stumped until I figured all it was was the tailor’s fantasy of his love and nothing more. It was amusing that the narrator is describing everything in terms of his profession.
After that the only thing I had trouble with is wondering what the writer meant by a “roguish smile” I mean… I know what I mean by a roguish smile but it’s not a word that I’d put in a list describing romantic perfection.
I pretty much went with the annotation for my approach to today’s rhyme “Hey ding, a ding, what shall I sing?” because taking it straight made no sense at all.
Apparently it refers to traveling singers performing for a meal… makes a lot more sense then my original image of a cranky child sitting at the kitchen table.
Today’s rhyme “If You’ve a Mole Above Your Chin” is another one that seems to lead itself to very quick cartoons… otherwise you have nothing to work with… After that the only difficult part of this sketch was trying to figure out exactly where above one’s chin would be.
It’s depressing In past challenges I’d be crowing about successfully finishing another sketch challenge… unfortunately this is the first one where I decided to try for two months. Still half way through.
Well here’s the last of the this year’s Folklife sketches. It all went pretty well though by the end of the day it was getting a little too crowded for me to stay in my zone… fortunately the brass bands snapped me out of early burn out.
