For Illustration Friday, as usual.

A close friend is pregnant. She was reading one of her books that talks about pregnancy, and on the same page it states two incongruous factoids: (1) normally, a woman’s uterus is the size and shape of an upside-down pear; and (2) during pregnancy, the uterus grows to 1,000 times it normal size.
Wait, what?
So this drawing of 100 pears is only 1/10 of the final size of my friend’s belly. I feel like I’m folding paper cranes, which I guess is appropriate: if these factoids are true, she’s going to need a lot of luck!

This one is for our friends in the media who predicted Hillary’s defeat in New Hampshire lat night. I guess that’s pretty much all of us, then.

Here is a desktop image for your computing pleasure. The quote arrived in my inbox via Anu Garg’s A.Word.A.Day, along with the word, “anthropomorphize.”

So if I make a typographical error, but I’m writing/drawing with a pencil, is that a scriptological error? Graphological? And then when I make it back into a typographic illustration, what do I call that?

For Illustration Friday: Soar.
Hi, I’m DUUH Hickey, and this is my spankin’ new site. I’m an illustrator living in the upper Midwest (it’s in the Middle), and I love me some type, and I love me some vectors. I like to put the two together as often as I can, and I’m collecting the results here for your amusement. I’ll post my best work here on like-duuh.com, and you’ll see pretty much anything I do up on my Flickr page.
Enjoy early and often, and feel free to hire me if you need a drawing or two.
