    LMAO – that is soooo funny. He should have read the guide before trying out the ol wasabi (then again, I got caught by it with my early forays into sushi land too). It’s a wonderful work, Tom. Just fantastic. Love the concerned look on the teddy bear!!!!

  • Tom Godfrey replied

    I have never tried it, but it was a main feature in the story, so I had to include it. The visiting aliens were normally quite friendly, but they needed to feed late at night and had a weakness for Wasabi, which had unfortunate consequences for family pets and little humans :)

    Congrats, Tom. Very nice. What I like most about your artwork is your ability to entertain the eye with humor; very creative, and it makes you think more about what is happening in the picture. :-)

  • Tom Godfrey replied

    Thanks Mr Thoughtful. I do try to keep a sense of fun, even with the scarier pics.

    What a fantastic creative mind you have Master Tom, and, fortunately for us, you have that special skill to put it onto paper. Apart from all else your matery of light and shadow is brilliant. Is that jelly quivering naturally or in fright?

  • Tom Godfrey replied

    Thanks Sir Brian. Probably from fright and from being prodded. :)

    it’s very very very hot. I thought he tasted it by accident, thus the need to bite the fridge. Isn’t it funny at times how images and stories can have so different a meaning!

  • Tom Godfrey replied

    Looking at it through your eyes that makes perfect sense and I would have reached the same conclusion – thanks for the comment Anne

    Giggle. For some reason, the alien reminds me of my dog…mostly because her greatest wish is to fit the entire fridge inside her mouth.

    I love how he thinks he’s hiding behind the thing, and at the same time, the little kid doesn’t even seem to notice the big purple monster, the snot, or the fact that the refridgerator is slightly askew.

  • Tom Godfrey replied

    :) Thanks Julie – my little dachund has a similar dream :) Yeh I tried to create that sort of dramatic visual tension -good to know it works. thanks for stopping by and leaving a cool comment.

    i think this is my favorite so far
    is this too digital
    it is very painterly
    and i know a few of your works which i thought were paintings were in fact digital

  • Tom Godfrey replied

    Hi Pookieanne. I use Corel Painter on my pencil sketches. It is a great program for artists, because the brushes behave in a most realistic way. I try to keep the loose painterly effects where I can -seems to help the energy of the piece. I also don’t try to hide the fact that I use a computer drawing program. My digital paintings take longer than most of my pastels do :) Thanks for your many wonderful comments on my work.

  • pookieanne

    pookieanne

    that is what i thought
    i do love them
    i am not quite as computer saavy
    my work is mostly oils and acrylics
    oh yeah and tattoos
    my website for the tatts is www.mindmagik.wetpaint.com

  • Tom Godfrey replied

    thanks pookieanne -I will have to have a look. Cheers and thanks again for the supportive comments

    Tom, perhaps it’s high time I thanked you for providing the cover illustration for my story. It perfectly fits “Earth for Dummies” in style and tone. Thanks also to your friends who read my story.
