To Tracey With Love (And Humor!)

(a page in my sketchbook)

I originally created this drawing for my Clooney-and-tea-loving pal, Tracey, in July.  Then, when EVA & I decided to host a tea party for her, I thought it might be fun to revisit this drawing and play with some new ideas...

It started off pretty harmless.  I printed my drawing and cut it out to try different backgrounds.  But, knowing how much Tracey shares my love of silly (and actually encourages my antics), I couldn't stop there...

So I took George for a ride.
(Yes, that's George Clooney in my passenger seat.)

I brought him with me to the post office.

And, I took him to the grocery store.
(It's pretty appropriate that this photo was taken by the bananas.  Because, if you are taking pictures with a cardstock cut-out of a George Clooney drawing, people are going to look at you like you are... bananas.)

Since George is truly a gentleman, he wouldn't think of attending Tracey's Tea Party without bringing flowers.

Or chocolate!

(I had so much fun with George, I can see why Tracey loves him!)

  24. George certainly gets about doesn't he? I would also put him in the passenger seat of my car looking out that would give the traffice warden the shock of her life. Wonderful picture!

  25. This is so ridiculously cool on so many levels. Not only is George oh so perfect but I get to envisage you walking into a grocery store with a cardboard cut out. Now that I would have paid money to see. You rock Duders and life is so much better knowing you are in it. Thank you for being so perfectly generous and completely mad. You never fail to bring a smile to my face xx
