Baby C'hthulu
Hey all!I just finished this up last night, and saw that the Challenge this week was hats, and couldn't resist posting.
This is baby c'hthulu. This is based on a story a friend of mine once told me about a rotund little kid and his trial and travails regarding a strawberry. The kid was apparently, dressed just like C'hthulu here - right down to the hat.
So there you go: hats.

John Wayne's Hat
First of all massive apologies for not posting for quite some considerable time, I've been extremely busy of late...
Anyway, here's my attempt at the 'Hats' brief set last week - just managed to get it in. I'm currently doing a series of illustrations based on famous 'Icons', this one is John Wayne, a bit of a hero of mine when I was a kid. The question is, is it John Wayne reading his own biography, or is it an obsessed fan?? And no, it isn't me.
Have a look at my web site for my latest work and a link to my blog shows all of the other 'Icons', hope you like them...

Is A Bear Catholic?
SFG's theme of hats makes me think of the quite-funny Flickr group Bears In Ill-Fitting Hats.

HATS / Johnny Depp W.I.P.
A work in progress Johnny Depp caricature that kind of fell into the "hats" category.

Crow & chapeau
I have been thinking about making this fellow for awhile, the topic "hats" was the nudge I needed. More photos on my blog, www.lepenquotidien.com

That Great Hat...
An older illustration of mine. A self portrait of sorts. Still like that great hat!

The challenge word this week is "hats".
With the impending retirement of Jay Leno as host of the Tonight Show, it's hard to believe that there is almost an entire generation who doesn't know who Johnny Carson was. For many, Leno has always been the host of the Tonight Show. When Johnny stepped down on May 22, 1992, it most definitely was the end of an era. For 30 years, Ed McMahon's introduction of "Heeeeeeeeeeere's Johnny" was the beginning of America's bedtime ritual.
The Tonight Show featured many characters during its run. One of the most popular was Carnac the Magnificent. With the name taken from the stage name Johnny used as a magician, Carnac was "a seer, sage and soothsayer". America's excitement piqued when this "vistor from the East" was announced by Ed. The bit featured Johnny, decked out in an impossibly large turban and cape, as the psychic, who would divine the answers to the questions that were in envelopes "hermetically sealed" and had been kept in "a mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnalls' porch since noon" that day. One at a time, Johnny would raise the envelopes to his forehead and announce an answer like "Dippity-do". Then, he would tear open the envelope and read the question printed on a card: "What forms on your Dippity early in the morning?" The audience would laugh or groan (or both). And so it went.
A: Bible belt.
Q: What holds up Oral Roberts' pants?
A: An unmarried woman.
Q: What was Elizabeth Taylor between 3 and 5 pm on June 1, 1952?
A: Clean air, a virgin and a gas station open on Sunday.
Q: Name three things you won't find in Los Angeles.
If a particularly bad joke met with a large groan from the studio audience, Carnac would curse them with "May a crazy holy man set fire to your nose hair." or "May a queasy camel freshen up your mother's evening bath."
I haven't watched the Tonight Show since 1992. I think I know why. Who could possibly top Johnny Carson?
He was a tough act to follow.
