illustration friday: change

Here's my submission for Illustration Friday's theme of "change."

(click image to enlarge)
This is a piece that I had already created -- no time to make a new piece with a new kitten and travel this weekend. I was thinking of how when men are watching TV they tend to change the channel all the time. So I think it works for the theme even if it's a little stretch!

Amen! To alleviate this frustration, my husband can keep his channel changer, but I control the volume!! Great illustration!

He's changing the channel but zoning out at the wall. Nice image Claudine!

Another great one. Love the pants and floor. This guy is definitely taking a break after a long days work at the office.

Very funny! I like your theme on "change". I have to admit that I am the remote hog in our family :-). XOX to Stanley - he's sooooo darn cute!!

He can be forgiven because he is wearing such cool shorts! Hope he finds something good to watch:)

You're right with men and remote control. Somehow I just don't understand. Anyways, great collage as usual. I can see that your collage commission is doing very well! Congrats on that and keep it up, we love your work!

He looks totally absorbed in the 7 second portion of the program he has already seen and will only see. This is hilarious because it is so true!

This is perfect! I love how his legs are transparent...so many men won't get up from their "viewing station" why bother having legs! :-)
