A couple weeks ago I was illustrating my post about a traumatic childhood experience with a kite and I created an accidental Frankenstein of hilarity. It is the funniest thing I have ever unintentionally created and WAY too good not to share. =)
But it didn't fit with the story I was writing at the time. =(

When I colour my fish-people drawings, I edit all of the pictures for a post in one mammoth image file. (This helps me stay organized and makes it easier to keep colours consistent.) There are several layers for each picture and I just turn them on and off as needed and export them separately when I'm done.
I was working on this set of drawings when I happened to see these two pictures superimposed on each other. The alignment was incredible! I honestly couldn't have drawn this better if I tried.
Plus I'm terrified of heights, so the expression on my face as I appear to be dragged away by the kite is just perfect.
I had to take a break from working because I was laughing so hard. Hopefully I'm not the only one who finds this so incredibly funny... It also reminds me of my all-time favourite Calvin and Hobbes comic, which is (unsurprisingly) also about kites. [UPDATE: The link is working now! Sorriez!]
Can you tell by now that I like kites? I love kites. I have at least two more childhood "Misadventures with Kites" to write about, and I'll post those as parts 2 and 3... eventually. =D
There will be plenty of random stuff in the meantime!
I love kites. So much, I refuse to fly them. We went on vacation in North Carolina and made kites to fly on the sand dunes. I was about 9 and refused to fly it because I loved it so much I was afraid I'd lose it.
ReplyDeleteYep. That's my kite story. Oh yeah, and that we flew it at my house like 5 years ago and it got stuck up a TALL tree. It's still there, I can see it from this window here
Haha wooowww, 5 years??? That is one hardcore kite.... no wonder you were afraid of losing it!
