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?!

Star Wars Valentines

A hand drawn Valentine for my

6 year old granddaughter.  

Sketched in pencil first, then

Sharpie marker and watercolor.

I really liked the new heroes in this

film, and by the time the movie was over,

my granddaughter was

already planning to dress up as

Rey for Halloween!

My grandson says he likes the "bad guys"

better, so Kylo Ren is on the front of his

Valentine.  The inside message reads:

Ha Ha...resistance is futile!

They will probably never understand

 how much time and effort these took,

but that's ok. I enjoyed making them.

Linking up for T Tuesday...

hope you have a creative day!
