Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge #75 --- "Show Me Some Attitude"

Mo's challenge this week is all about ATTITUDE.  Well, I can certainly do that! The hard part was choosing which of Mo's images to use! One of the things I love the most about her illustrations is that so many of them are just full of attitude, from the little kids' terrible twos to Mummu's happy dance.  I recently bought "The Tramp", a depiction of the original Little Tramp Charlie Chaplin.  We were introduced to Charlie as little kids, though these were classic films even back then, and we thought he was the funniest man! Mo has managed to capture the Little Tramp's attitude in this illustration.  With his too-tight coat, oversized shoes, and spiffy cane, he carries the attitude of optimism and hope, despite the rags of financial challenges.

"Strike a Pose!"

I used some dp I've had for years!  It came from Paper Pizzazz (HOTP) Masculine Collage sheets, though it could be considered vintage, as well.  I love the old camera, very much from that era.  The corners are Cuttlebug dies and the stick-on brass brads are my new favorite from K & Company. Little pieces of scrap paper and mesh sit behind the image and frame cut with Nesties deckle edged dies.

I colored the image with Copics and the main colors in the suit are E13, E23, E29, and E53. 

This character tells me that no matter what our circumstances we can strike a pose of optimism.  Laughter is always a good thing, and he makes me laugh!  I hope you enjoyed this card and that your week has lots of humor in it.  Thanks for stopping by and be sure to visit Mo's challenge blog for more attitude -- and inspiration.
