I don't make a lot of drawings, so I get as much mileage out of each piece as possible by scanning stuff when I think of it. This is just a little postcard-sized sketch with markers. I'll bet some of you remember seeing it before! This is an Iowa farm that Jeff and I found on a backroads ramble in May 2005. I also don't know what this has to do with washing dishes, but I'm fascinated by the fact that "dishes" sorta rhymes with "Aloysisus". Who would think that it's pronounced "Alowishus"?

Wash the Dishes, Aloysius

ReplyDeleteI love this sketch! We need to go back to Iowa soon. Greg Brown is doing a concert at the Seed Exchange in July and Barbara Damrosch and her husband are speaking there a week later! Heirloom diversity, baby!
ReplyDeleteI have a little yellow beany baby fish named Aloysius.
ReplyDeleteNo way!
ReplyDeleteYes, remind me and I'll show him to you. He's very cute.
ReplyDeleteCute Iowa farm. I do remember the card and actually saved it. I think it was a b-day or thank-you card.
