clueless illustrated poem

October 1, 2018

This weekend I caught up on the news – and this poem and illustration came to me: The Little Brat By Sue Clancy Clueless Jack Horner stood in a corner eating a stolen pie saying “Oh what a good boy am I!” His classmates had cried. His teacher had sighed. But Jack, little Jack, didn’t…

Molly

I’ve been busy working on art commissions – and some extra special “dog-drawing-for-Christmas” requests – none of which I can talk about in public ’cause, you know, they’re somebody’s present! So I took a very short time off from being one of Santa’s elves and did this short-narrative poem plus illustration practice: Molly – By Sue…

Ponder

November 20, 2016

Doing my short narrative – poem plus illustration – practice again. Perhaps I should call it “dog drawing plus words”? Ponder – By Sue Clancy – There once was a dog named Ponder Who was full of curiosity and wonder “What’s it like in the lea? or for people at sea? Oh what is it like…

Here’s some more short narrative practice, or poetry practice, or words plus pictures practice or if you want to be really accurate you could call it “Sue’s playing around again”. Whatever you want to call it – here’s the poem and illustration: Card Times by Sue Clancy A sly old dog named Muffin Sat on a…

Friday Fudge Judge

October 28, 2016

Earlier today I did a blog post called “Friday Fun In Progress” about a short narrative poem I was in the process of writing and illustrating. Then I took a lunch break. Thanks for waiting so patiently…. and without further ado here’s what I came up with: The Fudge Judge – By Sue Clancy A strict, stiff,…

October 28, 2016

I’m working on my short narrative practice again; aka writing a quickie poem/story plus creating an illustration for it. I’m thinking of fudge, fudge competitions, and the process of asking people to judge something so subjective as what something tastes like… and what could happen. Anyway, here’s what my desk looks like right now… more…

Lettuce Peas

October 23, 2016

Was contacted this morning by one of my gallery owners, Barney, of Downtown Art & Frame, in Oklahoma to tell me that my work “Lettuce Peas” had sold! This work was a highly experimental piece, different from the “typical” work I do. For this project I worked with Judy Sullens, a writer, and created this words+art piece…
