Have you seen the film “O brother where art thou”? If so, then you’ll understand the title for this pic.
While sorting through some old papaerwork with Alison (my partner) the other week, she found a drawing she’d done when she was 11 years old of a horse riding girl who’d fallen into a muddy puddle. I loved the pic and thought I’d have a go at doing something similar… in my own style of course. So here it is, with a hefty dose of the Thelwell pony drawings as an influence.
Incidently Alison said that jodpurs aren’t that stretchy, at least not like I’ve shown in the drawing. In response I adopted a holier than thou pose and replied with just said two words…
“Artistic license”
Its my get out of jail free card, the card’s getting a bit dog-eared nowadays but it comes in very handy sometimes. Hehehehhehee
Thanks for the comments folks. Glad you found it funny.
Rasedyll, while googling Thelwell I found that site you mentioned. I was actually saddened to read he’d died in ‘04. I’d seen this bloke’s work a lot over the years but never fully appreciated it. His humour is right up my street.
I see you are not only a top rate cartoonist but very talented with the pencil Biker. I remember being influenced by Thelwell very many years ago and still have a few of his books to enjoy. Having said that, you have an individual style. I could quite well say much he same thing about all your work. Great stuff and I look out for more.
