Illustration Friday - Routine


My new routine for the last 2 and half months is riding my bike to work and back. I love it. I have missed riding bikes around town, I don't even remember why I stopped. But I am back to it and really enjoying it.

I did this illustration a month ago and thought it fit perfectly for this week's theme. I added the sleeping dachshund (one of my favorite types of dogs) and some texture.

Thanks for visiting :)

    Cute! I love the little dog strapped in the back seat! :)
    PS: Mimi (our drummer) has a long hair dachshund! He is a ball of energy!

    I'd love to ride my bike to work, but it such a short trek from the bedroom to my office, and I don't think my wife would like having bike tracks on the carpet! :P

    Seriously, though, the illo is cute. And how nice to be close enough to work to ride your bike.

    Excellent! Simplifying a bicycle for illustration can be daunting, but I love your solution.
    And even though my illo is about driving a car, my favorite way to get around the city is on my trusty bike!

    What a happy illo! So cheery and colorful, and GOOD FOR YOU for biking to work! We've been carless for a year now, so I walk everywhere or take public transportation, and it makes me feel better about myself. Over here, I see lots of women biking in skirts and high heels!

    That's cool! Too bad I don't live somewhere "bike friendly"...I'm in the middle of the boonies, but there's HUGE hills. With my outta shape body, I'd never make it! :) Love your illustration! Great routine to have!

    Hey, I'm a teacher and I just caught my own mistake! I should have written "there ARE huge hills" not "there'S huge hills" :) Sorry, it's the teacher in me!
