Somehow I forgot to post this here on Kimi’s actual birthday but I am pretty proud of it and all the compliments I got really did my self-esteem a world of good. So if you’re responsible for one of the 23,500(ish) views or you’re among the 172 people who liked it, I want to thank you, chances are we’d be good friends. And those 2 dislikes… I will find you. Just kidding. I guess 🙂 Happy Belated Kimi Day!
I don’t think this post needs much of a story, the name says it all (if you’re a motor sport fan or at least you’ve glanced at the TV occasionally to see why your boyfriend was ignoring you). Safe to say it’s one man I admire in a sea of business interests and marketing tricks because he embodies what I enjoy most about Formula 1, and that’s the actual racing (no, I didn’t mean to quote him). But the humour helps, mostly prompted by Lotus’ smart PR guys. So here’s a little Kimi tribute in a Lotus-inspired livery (also a thumbs-up to Burn for their uber-creative events), because next year I’m going to hate drawing so much red. Â
Despite the title choice, no, it’s nothing to do with historic aircraft. Maybe ‘nothing’ isn’t entirely true either, it’s still about aerodynamics, skill and a certain drinks company that happens to be particularly good at marketing. Well, trying to get to the point, I’ve been meaning to post this for quite a while, since the Austin GP actually, but didn’t quite get around to doing that so here it is now. Not that it needs much explanation, but I thought that Vettel’s 100th grand prix would be a nice occasion to celebrate with a little doodle (which turned into a couple of different designs, these are my favourite two – click on them for a better view). For those few of you who don’t know what/who I’m talking about, I assume you’re familiar with Google? Use it. The rest just enjoy. Here’s to an entertaining 2013, let’s hope they lovingly grab the bull by the horns once again and stop that horse from prancing! Yeah, that wasn’t my smartest metaphor but hey, I’ve still got 56 days and about 15 hours to come up with a better one. Back to work now (and by work I mean checking out this Chris Horner fanclub page I’ve heard about, that sounds like fun)  🙂
Morning! I finally got around to scanning my drawings so here’s a quick collection. Most of them are already published in previous posts so you can find more photos there 🙂
Emotive unstable you’re like an unwinding cable car
Listening for voices, but it’s the choices that make us who we are
Go your own way, even seasons have changed just burn those new leaves over
So self-absorbed you’ve seemed to ignore the prayers that have already come about
