So we’re going to start posting some pictures that tell a little story with a poem.  Let us know what you think.  The best ones are going to end up in a book (the book will definitely have a better title than Picklesoda Poetry Project).  And of course it is understood at Picklesoda that all poems rhyme (we are very close minded that way unless you don’t think we should be).  So here’s the first one.

Picklesoda Poetry Project (or some other better name)

Elephant’s love chocolate

This elephant with the sinister look on her face
is not contemplating robbery or cheating in a race
no her thoughts are less sinister by far
she just doesn’t want to share her candy bar

Question: What would eat this for breakfast?

Answer: A goblin

I am a Drum

A sketch for a new book we’re working on. He’s a drum.

Art

Q: Is this an awesome painting or something that took me 5 minutes to do on my computer?

A: It took 5 minutes. I didn’t really do anything but it still looks cool.

Q: Does this count as art?

A: Maybe.  I bet you could at least make a pretty cool looking book this way.

It’s just a picture without a story attached.  It’s certainly not his best day.  What do you think the story might be?

I know, dear reader, that this may seem a trite topic, but I must be contrary and say that it is not so. As I am working on my new alphabet book, I can’t help but wonder if I should follow the normal convention of “A is for Apple” or branch out and simply declare boldly, “apple.”*

What do you think? Which is better? Let me know what you think.


A is for Apple

Apple

* Do not worry, my alphabet book will be much more exciting than mere apples…

Gentle Beginnings

An original Gentle Bear comic drawn during some kind of school. From his humble beginnings to now having his very own book. Gentle Bear must be pleased.

Ferocious Sketch

Don’t worry the baby is in no danger. But maybe you are.
