ArtSparker's Illustration Challenge #2

A fair while back ArtSparker issued the second Illustration Challenge, here:

Anthony was amazed when he looked out the window and observed...........
The challenge being to complete the caption and reveal what Anthony sees.

Belatedly, here are our offerings.

Anthony was amazed when he looked out the window and observed...
a disco-dancing burning bush.

Anthony was amazed when he looked out the window and observed...
two monsters, a man-eating plant, some eyeballs, some ghosts in a bathroom with a wall cut off with wings and a very weird telegraph pole in his front garden.
Anthony was amazed when he looked out the window and observed...
his own brick wall. Well odd, don't you think?

No parental interference in either drawings or captions. Mine's the first.

Lovely idea Titus - I tried to think what I might have put - probably a giant border terrier!

Yeah...something for me to do with the kids on Monday! I'll report back.

What, he didn't see an alligator? ;)

Dominic Rivron said...

Wonderful ghosts!

Titus said...

Thanks Weaver! It's funny how one's mind goes blank - when you're an adult.

hope: yes, do pass it on. It's such a simple, yet brilliant, idea (thanks, ArtSparker).
In fairness, these were drawn before the 'flu hit and the package arrived. We're seeing alligators all the time at the moment, and researching them a lot. Especially describing words for alligators...

Dominic: whooo!

Good to see that everyone's creativity is untrammeled by parents, including yours.

Titus said...

Ah, my mother! Still tells me to put my hair up too.

Jane Moxey said...

Clever and imaginative people in your house, that's for certain. And right on for not trammeling! That's something I worked really hard not to do with our boys. I adore kids' art work. Hey you've sparked an idea for a blog post from me on the topic -- not today, but very soon...

A rather disurbing trio, particularly the brick wall-can you imagine? AAAaaarrrrgggghhh!!!

Titus said...

Hi Jane, well. two of them, at least! Glad this has had a knock-on effect!

TFE: there is a touch of the Twilight Zone about that one...

Rachel Fenton said...

I had to spend a wee while explaining to my 8yr old why taping black bags over someone's windows would not be a funny trick or treat this Halloween. This is a nice way she can imagine her trick without getting into bother!

Titus said...

I think you'll have to explain why to me. Sounds hilarious.
I think I'll steal the idea, so do see she gets the credit!

deemikay said...

Oooh... here's another I'll have to do!

Titus said...

Good-oh!

hope said...

Make sure you add the southern word "gator" to the group. :)

Titus said...

Of course! See, you are a mine of information.
Always makes me think of those things men use to keep socks dry though...
