Illustration Friday - Fluid

Very high on my list of favourite fluids

Illustration Friday - Popularity

Illustration Friday - Suspense

The great film director Alfred Hitchcock was oftem referred to as the master of suspense. I used to love his anthology series on TV when I was a kid

Bill suddenly realized that he had forwarded THAT e-mail to the president of the company

Illustration Friday - Twirl

A man who really knew how to twirl a moustache, the wild and wonderful Salvador Dali
