What is with the “sp” topics? Spring… Speed… Spotted… Anyway, here we have La Bug Jatte. “Boys, that’s just great. But next time, don’t be so clever” –Stephen Sondheim (Merrily We Roll Along)

Jason double-challenged me by informing me that I had to draw “Spring Chickens!”

Eh. Sometimes an illustration is just forced. It’s been a busy week. I also need to stop drawing partial bedrooms for a while!

I wasn’t all that inspired by this weeks topic so this is more of a theme than a depiction. Rabbits’ feet. shoes, socks… Ok I got a little fixated on rabbits altogether last week because of the “drunk bunny” at Charlotte’s friend’s wedding.

Edit 5.23.06: Bunnies and Socks: A disquisition upon rabbit-ness. Ears or feet? By Keith Ward Which provides the essence of a bunny? Long ears help us hear, and cool us off in the summer. Surely they are most important, and these human socks surely must have been intended to protect our ears. Feet: Wrongo! Our big feet provide quick getaways and keep us from sinking in the snow. Because humans put socks on THEIR feet, which are far less important or grand than OUR feet, surely ours deserve socks too. Plus, look at how silly you look with that sock on you ear!
