If you've ever experienced lovebug season, then you might get a chuckle out of this little drawing I did in my sketchbook last week while in Florida.
Being a "Buffalo gal", the best comparison I have is that lovebugs look like falling snow when coming toward your windshield. (Although the sound of lovebugs during the height of the season is more like a torrential downpour - I'm sure the sales of windshield washer fluid spike during that time!)
Please be sure to see what goodies have landed in my friends' sketchbooks over at Sophia's blog!
HAHA. I adore this. What a fun concept!

Oh, Kristin LOL...yes it will soon be the season for washing windows of flying bugs, it's a good thing I don't ride a motorcycle because then, well, lets just say window washer wouldn't be an option. :-)
ReplyDeletenow kristin, how can i handle being enamored by these darling bugs and then have to think of them smushed on the windshield. i hope their last moments are filled with however bugs get excited ( i wanted to be more explicit but i know this is a family blog and i don't want to leave a bad impression of myself) :^)
ReplyDeleteyou know mary chapin carpenter's song: sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug? ahahaha, thanks for the smiles this morning

ps. no hearts on email. i don't know why, but they refuse to become hearts. ♥
Kristin, do you know how Love Bugs get from here to there? They fly united. Heehee. I lived in Florida for 5 years and the Love Bugs were something else. There were times I had to pull over to the side of the road and get out to clean the windshield every 1/4 mile or I couldn't see a thing. I'd have to wash the car when I got back home and it was a challenge to get those little guys off. YUCK!!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable!! I love the windshield washer fluid in his hand and the squigee in hers!
ReplyDeletehilarious and a good sketch!

Ha! The things that hit my windshield aren't nearly as cute as this couple, and they don't clean up after themselves, either. I prefer your version to the real thing.
ReplyDeleteVery clever. I like the details of your sketch and the story behind it.
ReplyDeleteOh this is good :).
ReplyDeleteIt is summer here that this happens, and every time I get a splat of the windshield I swinch (most likely swinch is not a word):)
Great sketch and clever concept :)
ReplyDeleteYou always have some briliant concepts/ideas with your art - totally makes me smile every single time! :D
ReplyDeleteI remember love bugs from when we lived on the Gulfcoast in Mississippi when I was a kid. I aways liked them.
ReplyDeleteSorry it's taken me awhile to comment on Sunday Sketches.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen them, but the way you describe them makes me want to find a youtube video.
