What if...? (CHALLENGE!)

Since I already took one yoghurt, one fruit salad and two cups of coffee, I'll accept the cigarette (I only smoke five until now:-)

Armando Salas 30 Jul 2008

Haha.... Only now I noticed this fish, Roy. After I look at my drawing again, looks like I'm only able to draw fishes in profile. Good one, you rascal:-) LOL!

---- By the way I would love you'll upload your Peixeiras to our Group:

(Only after you'll take your morning coffee and smoke the cigarette:-)

ROY, your fisher's women are OUTSTANDING!

I love that SUNNY disposition of your colorful piece of art work~ and yes stained glass comes to mind.

Wonderful piece of work my friend!

Love and Light~OLGA

HaHa! Very amusing Armando

AND...... Thank you Olga for those few kind words!!

Just saw Lior Goldenberg's version. Going to comment there.

By the way, Lior, you start your political career in an advanced position. I must say, Monica Lewinsky migh appear later and you already included her on the sailboat:-) LOL!

Lior Goldenberg 30 Jul 2008

Armando, this is the result I came up with. I restricted myself to your original sketch to see how I can deal with its complexity. Hope it's not too bad...

Cheers, Lior.

I did not have any relations with that woman!

Armando Salas 30 Jul 2008

Bill Clinton said the same before Elections:-)

Olga van Dijk 30 Jul 2008

LIOR, WHAT A WONDERFUL INTERPRETATION!

(I love that woman in that sails of yours... It gives certainly an extra dimension to your piece!)

Love and Light~OLGA

I have to say.... if that was really Miss Lewinsky, I think ole Bill would have opted for more then a B.J.... LOL

I just finished making my comments to the other followers of Armando the Great!!

You have pictures for me? no rush, I am not going anywhere fast.. I will say that between the colored one and my B/W one, I prefer the look of the B/W. I feel it just didn't come out as well colored, to dark for my liking, but maybe I will do another with different colors in mind and see what happens.

Few years ago my son Armando and I went to La Coruña to visit "Viñetas desde o Atlántico" (Yearly comics exhibition). Then he was studying Image & Sound at Escola de Imaxe e Son in La Coruña..

While walking and seeing comics, Paco Vázquez, Major of La Coruña, came near us (he is an expert and incredible comics collector). My son asked him for permission to take few shots (he was in photography phase on his studies). Vazquez agreed. Few days after we send copies to him and at the same time I included the original of an editorial comic strip ABOUT HIM (my corrosive humor, you already know:-)

One month later I got a package. Inside: one wonderful book + CD full of photos, edited by Council of La Coruña and a visiting card : "Thank you very much for the photos and the comic strip. I liked it very much" (Politicians, you already know...:-))))

Paco Vázquez is really Sir Francisco Vázquez having the Knights Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire, given by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. (By the way Paco is Francisco the same way Joe is John)

Nowadays Paco Vázquez is the Spanish Ambassador in Vatican.

Pamela: these photos are taken from that book. Photos are © Foto Blanco (La Coruña). You can see peixeiras and the hard work of their men. Your brilliant B&W drawing has "the essence" of those photos. Do you agree? The same "spirit" for sure.
