Egg Toons

[FelixVW]

Here's one to start, pretty plain-looking. I can leave the next ones without any lettering at all. Will make a a version being pulled and one with a more dynamic-looking parked trailer

This is still hand-drawn..can trace digitally to clean up lines for final version.
Oh, Tabitha's trying to remember the one she was thinking of hehe

[Harlequin]

pretty much anything on this except the Dairy Milk, kitkat (we get those two) and cherry blossoms. Quarter Packs (12-bar Packs) PanhandlePremium.com | CDNCandy.com | Canada Chocolate Bars Canadian

Coffee Crisp is definitely in the top spot. Mmm.

(I grew up in Buffalo NY and went across the border to Ontario pretty often. We'd always end up bringing back candy bars and Ketchup potato chips. : we don't get the fun cadbury stuff down here, and I heart coffee crisp.)

Tabitha, we'll make sure Carol sends you your coffee crisp and a few others as well. From one chocoholic to another... Marina

Hoot Hoot looking good!
I can throw out a few Canadian names that are well known in as Canadian made names for Tabitha: "Rocky Mountain", "Purdy's" and "Laura Secord" although Secord is very eastern so not seen to often in the west - the other two are very west coast.

Really nice job!

Ollie,
Thanks sooo much for sharing your art. Of course I really like the UHaul one.

Yea, isn't that cool?

Ollie, just an idea, but if you set up a Spreadshirt shop (they're sorta like Cafe Press but with many more clothing options), you'd get a lot of sales from this crew!

For example: maybe the mid-atlantic folks need an official t-shirt?

You could make several bucks off each sale and help fund your Senga renovation....

[FelixVW]

Sounds good Would be happy to set up something like that. I just need to keep on track getting my dissertation writing done by Fall- seems like I always get into more projects when I have a deadline for something else

So, if anyone has design thoughts, let me know
I'll work on the Glass Eggs logos again tomorrow- today was an all-Senga work day and tonight I have to do diss. work.

And thanks everyone!

[CindyL]

Dissertation in what (says one who finished hers almost 5 years ago)?

Great cartoons, especially fond of the Uhaul!

[Vivian L]

Fabulous and Funny.

Here's a thought. A newly hatched "egg" being watched over by a chicken AND a rabbit (ie: Cadbury's easter bunny).
And Tshirts would make a great business but wow. A lot of work.

[FelixVW]

So when a FG egg hatches, do campers come out of it? Or you mean newly-laid?
Maybe a white bunny with a pile of Cadburry eggs behind and a chicken sadly scrutinizing his latest accomplishment- a FG egg: "I just don't think you'll ever fit in"...?

(Quote) Dissertation in what (says one who finished hers almost 5 years ago)? (Quote)
- Cindy, the dissertation is on landscape archaeology, semiotics, and actor-network theory of early 19th-Century James River, VA stoneware potters (think the grey crocks you see in antique shops with the hand-painted blue flowers)

[Vivian L]

I just wish I could draw - darn. I can see it in my head but that doesn't translate to my fingers. I see a shiny newly hatched "egg" (ours is a boler but a generic would be better) with a bunny on one side and a chicken on the other (no caption) sort of glaring at each other. All three the same size or the bunny & chicken smaller might be even funnier.
Talented person you are!!!!

[CindyL]

Sounds interesting, Ollie. My ancestors were found in several places in VA, including the James River at Jamestown. We also collect crocks/pots similar to that when we travel, and I like to visit locations of my ancestors. We have a few from Jamestown when we were there. Of course, they are repros, but we also have a few antique pots. It was not an intentional collection. It just happened, and then we realized we had begun a collection of pots.

We are heading for KY and VA during the last week of July this year.

Vivianne- don't know if this is what you had in mind..


Cindy- I've collected a few of the Virginia pots- mainly early ones that might be good for chemical testing to trace where clays were mined, etc. I collect VW toys and lots of books, records, etc. the pots were not an intentional collection for me either, but have grown on me.
Where are you heading in VA?

[FelixVW]

Ok- been busy with work, etc. but did some sketches for the Glass Eggs logo.. let me know if any look promising or if you have any ideas!










This one hasn't come together yet- was trying to think of a way to make yolk from an egg form a road for a FG egg to ride on..

[WildBirder]

I see a calendar in the future Great stuff.

[Carol H]

Woooooo!! THANKS they all look great! Hard for me to say which I like the most... which do you think it should be???? I rather like the potential of 1, 6 & 7 but cant really say which!!! hummm perhaps 2 as well

Which do others think it should be? Mark?

Will post a note to our group and ask a few to give an opinion. Why to hard to make a call on my own!!

My hobby is genealogy, and I am an undergraduate history major. We are heading for Monticello, stopping by Blue Licks Battlefield in KY on the way. I had a something-great grandfather killed there.
