Illustration Friday "Hollow"

"You say Good Buy, I say Hollow"

I remember as a kid always feeling disappointed that chocolate Easter Eggs weren't solid. Of course, as an adult, I can see how impractical (and expensive) a solid egg of chocolate would be. Still as an ungrateful and selfish youngster you can't help but feel a little cheated when you hear that unmistakable hollow crack as you try to stuff as much into your mouth as possible. Kids huh?

It's been a long time between blog drinks(or "blinks" if you like). Works been a bit crazy, which is always a good thing. Hopefully I can share some more stuff soon.

Thanks for stopping by.

  2. Oh man Chris you really hit the nail on the head! I had this same experience and to this day I have an unconscious internal mechanism that feels the weight of a piece of chocolate to immediately asses whether it is hollow or solid. Brilliant post and equally brilliant illo. Love that t-shirt too!

  8. Love the T shirt... is this a self portrait (the whole thing I mean...I know you aren't Darth Vader...are you?). I agree about the whole solid choc con but then again there is something enticing about smashing the egg, kind like opening a jar of coffee foil top :) Glad you are too busy, well done!
