Illustration Friday: Chair
I was a bit uninspired by this week's Illustration Friday topic "Chair" until I iChatted with my good buddy Patrick Kendall about a magazine that we really got into when we used to hang out together as young teenagers called CARtoons. I've been doodling ideas about a nerdy kid coming up with some contraption that would intimidate his personal bully, and as ideas do, this one, the CARtoons, and "Chair" all mixed together until I came up with this. You can see a larger version by clicking on the illo.I'd sure like a chair like this for my birthday... vroom vroooooom!
