IF: suit
The weekly challenge at illustrationfriday.com is “suit”
I have been working as a professional artist, in one capacity or another, for almost 25 years. In that time, at every job I have ever had, there are guys in suits. They are very far removed from the end result of what the business produces. Yet, as far as they are from the day-to-day work process, they always have the perfect solution for making things work better. Mostly, their suggestions (or demands) are so insignificant, that it seems they are merely justifing their presence. It is the employees doing the actual work that keep a business running. It is the job of the “suits” to fuck things up.
This is dedicated to the people who actually work. You know who you are. Um…. no…. not you.
Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
This is a great illo and sooo true. I worked for many years in a dept store, doing displays and it was the suits who finally drove me out!

As the only person who gets the alt-text, I’m not even going to comment on it…and I thought this was a family blog, Captain Pottymouth!

I love the repetition. It really conveys the idea of getting yelled at by a boss.

I guess this is true for every job in the world! There’s always some “expert” who has never done the job or wouldn’t have a clue how to begin the job that seems to know more than the rest of us that actually do it daily. Love this illustration, and your name is cracking me up!
