The Coconut: Mighty prehistoric seed

admin — Thu, 08 May 2008 19:52:00 +0000

I’ve heard say that falling coconuts kill about 150 people a year, so I had a coconut falling (mightiest of seeds), and I thought of writing “Look-out below!” but the drawing was too empty for my taste, so in came the supporting actor, the crab: Humorless, fearless, a force to be reckoned with.

Rooftop Gardens

Rooftop gardens sprout back. I read an article not too long ago about Chicago using rooftop gardens to cool down office buildings. And recently, at the Urban Agriculture Conference in Milwaukee, people discussed everything from growing vegetables to “pigs raised in skyscrapers” — The concept of “urban farming”.

From time to time people come to my site with unusual requests. This doodle is in response to someone who was looking for “illustrations of women’s head and octopus body”

Seen on the Street

These are some of the things that caught my eye today while I was riding my bike around the neighborhood: A couple of pink turbans, a mailbox in the shape of a football helmet, a girl gardening, a pug standing by the edge of a wall, the “s” on the manhole, and a lost cellphone …

Here’s the story on the pink turbans:

“Turbans add brilliant splash of colour and style to monotonous and barren lands. Each colour has its own importance and significance like Ochre is the colour of the mendicant, while the saffron is commonly worn at the time of weddings. In the medieval past, the colour saffron also denoted valour and chivalry. A turban is usually 82 feet long and 8 inches wide, achieving different styles with this unstitched cloth, requires great skill. Skilled maidens in turban tying, were employed by the royal courts, but Rajasthanis generally take pride in practicing and perfecting the art of turban-tying themselves.When besieged by an enemy, and food and water supplies were scanty, desperate warriors wearing saffron turbans would sneak out of their citadels to lead sudden surprise attacks on the enemy. Turbans of specified colours are worn to mark periods of mourning. A white turban is worn for funeral processions by immediate family members. Whereas the khaki, blue and dark maroon are reserved for the solemnity of a condolence visit. Whereas in Rajasthan each caste have their own distinguishing colours, by which they are recognised, like shepherds wear red turbans, Bishnois, who are known as the most nomadic shepherd tribes and environmental conservationists, always wear white turbans and the other tribal communities wear printed turbans. Thus, the painted area is then wrapped with the tissue, plastic, or medical tape to lock in the body heat, so that it can create more intense colour on the skin. The wrap is worn overnight and then removed in the next morning. Which when washed, leaves a rich reddish brown colour on the surface of skin and can last somewhere from one to three weeks, depending on the quality of the paste. Some turban colours are seasonal to wear like in between February and March, flowers bloom and crops are harvested, it makes the best time for tourists to see the royal Rajasthani men, wearing a falgunia turban having white and red designs. Whereas in the month of July, the predominant colour is motiya or pearl pink.”

IF: Leap

(LEAP which my brain for some reason translated to HOP) That’s what the Alert European Rabbit, the Gigantic African Frog, the Dangerous Australian Kangaroo, and the Smart kid on a Pogo Stick, all have in common.

IF Multiple-Choice

admin — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 18:44:00 +0000

When I think of “multiple” I think “choice.” Multiple choice. And when I think of multiple choice I think TEST. Fortunately now I can doodle, and I’m not forced to take multiple choice tests on a weekly basis. The worst was for high school bio, Mr Carrol was the teacher’s name. I remember the smell of the fetal pigs, and the agony of sitting in front of 200 multiple choice questions filled with tricky biological germ warfare. I wish I had one of those tests around to show you.
