IF: outside
I love advertising. The best advertising is the kind that is remembered long after the ad campaigns have changed and changed again. Remember this one from the 1960s? I’ll bet you still know all the words. “Ooey gooey rich and chewy inside. Golden flaky tender cake-y outside. Wrap the inside in the outside. Is it good? Darn …
IF: toy
In the pre-hand held electronic device days, before Nintendo DS and iPads, toys didn’t take batteries. Board games, like Mousetrap, Hands Down and Mystery Date (for girls) were powered by a roll of the dice or a flip of a card. When we played politically-incorrect games like Cowboys and Indians, we used die-cast cap pistols …

Evidently, folksinger Loudon Wainwright III is featured in a current commercial for retail giant Walmart and Adam didn’t like it one bit. In typical “Josh Pincus” fashion, I smart-assed him. Our exchange went like this (including “two …
IF: repeat
Almost a full year before Jan nearly screwed up Mom and Dad’s anniversary gift when she misunderstood that the engraving on a silver platter was 85 cents a letter, not for the entire thing, she almost screwed up another anniversary gift. Under Dad’s suggestion, the Brady kids secretly gather to have a photographer take a formal …
from my sketchbook: vincent price
Can you imagine my joy when, in 1975, I brought home a newly-released copy of Alice Cooper’s Welcome to My Nightmare album, popped it onto my turntable and heard a deliciously creepy introduction by none other than the “King of Modern Macabre” — Vincent Price?

IF: spark
I have been actively participating and contributing to Illustration Friday for over seven years. In that time, I have never missed a week. I’ve been on vacation or otherwise out of town, but I still managed to post an original illustration within the timeframe. Lately, Illustration Friday has been a little uninspiring. I don’t know …
