Illustration Friday ~ Shaky
Sir Allister Wilkinson looked at the clock
Blimey… he said, it’s now four o’clock!
No double expressos  nor lattes for me
Instead I’ll have crumpets and a fine cuppa tea.

I could tell by the thumb this was going to be a good one…nice effect with the color use and a great ‘poster’…would look nice in a frame…

This is a wonderful illustration Roberta. Love the details on the cup, the hat and the glasses and the special touch of the little finger out! Great job!
