The Illustration Friday topic for the week is "Late". This is my sketch. Haa!
She's blushing!
Poor fella...
PS: For those of you curious to know if this is some sort of creative way for me to tell you that we're expecting..... sorry to disappoint you! Although, what a great idea that would have been for an announcement -- except instead of wonky eyes, I'd have to give Alan dead X's for eyes!! *grin*
And, if this was an interpretation of us, I'd have a very serious phone call to make to one girly-girl surgeon in Oregon. I had to have those parts removed several years ago. I have a mug shot photo of the offending uterus, too!
Alan and I will stick to fur and feathered children.
I just can't figure out where you come up with these ideas!! Does it just flow from your pen or what? You amaze me!!!!

Congrats! & HAHAHAA! I loved this little "cartoon" image. I knew instantly what the joke was & what it implied, but my hubby stared at it for really long seconds before I had to explain it to him. LOVE IT! Congrats!

Anna, you should have a disclaimer at the begining of the post telling people to put their drinks down before reading...it's not fun having beer up your nose!! LOL
Too funny...

It's just not fair that you are so incredibly talented in every way! =) I adore your photography, illustrations, and cards. Thanks for sharing.

This is too funny! Do you make these into greeting cards? These would make adorable "surprise, we're pregnant" cards.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. This one make my day! OMG. Very clever, Anna.

Only YOU could interpret "late" like that! LOL It is TOO FUNNY...
And concerning children...I love mine to pieces, but wow, these days the problems can be HUGE! The older they get, the bigger the disasters...fur and feathers are definitely less stress!!! :D ****HUGS****

This is absolutely HYSTERICAL! I think that would be my reaction if I found out I was pregnant again at 40. EEEEK! My four kids have filled my plate to the maximum. One more might send me straight to a looney bin.
