Hobonichi Star Wars Part 2

Must.have.coffee.first.

Star Wars robots had a lot of

'personality' in the original movie... 

I'm anticipating the new Han Solo movie, 

along with many Star Wars fans...

coming out soon!

...and, how about a slug-like Crime Lord

 for a classic villain?

I am guessing some poor elephant got

stuck wearing this Bantha costume, but it 

could have been a giant puppet too.

Anybody know the answer? Still,

pretty cool... would make an

amazing pet.

The Star Wars theme got upstaged for

the granddaughter's Dance Recital. 

She did a great job on all of her 

routines, and I love seeing all the 

costumes of the participants!

I'm joining up with T Tuesday blog hop,

better late than never, over at

Altered Book Lover's blog.  Join us!

Star Wars: May in my Hobonichi

Hobonichi drawings this month are

inspired by Star Wars!  Some things

I've learned from the movies:

"Never underestimate the locals."

"Hey, maybe those WERE the

droids we were looking for..."

May the 4th has more than one connotation.

It's a fun play on words for "May the Force be

with you," but also the anniversary of the

Kent State shootings.

Road trip to Tennessee: visited the Loveless

Cafe with my son's family.  A 1 1/2 hour wait

to be seated! A long-standing cafe, been in

business since 1951. The southern biscuits

were 'melt-in-your-mouth' good!

We also visited a used bookstore, where I

bought a copy of Danny Gregory's book

"An Illustrated Life."  Wonderful drawings

from many artist's sketchbooks, and their

thoughts about their journals. I 

recommend it.

continuing the Star Wars

theme for the month...

wonder if I will run out of 

characters to draw?

Villains...

and heroines.  I love Padme's formal

make-up. Reminds me of a Geisha.

And that elaborate hair...

My grandson is a fan of the bounty

hunter Boba Fett. Otherwise he would

not even be on my 'radar.'

Luke Skywalker wishing for adventure...

When we were driving home from Tennessee,

I spotted a house with about 25 pink flamingos

out front. It was so funny...and made me think

of a gift idea for my mom for Mother's Day.

I counted 5 beverage cups in my post today, 

so I am linking up for T Tuesday over at

Altered Book Lover's blog. Stop by for

adventures and a chat!

Bumper sticker seen on the road:

"Dead men tell no tales."

Does that mean "Don't mess with me," or--

the driver is a PIRATE?!
