Grease Monkey Mike by
Bonibleaux Designs is trying to become an ace mechanic but he doesn't know the difference between a spark plug and a tire iron. Mike is always friendly, courteous and as he tells his boss, customers love him because they keep coming back. Fortunately, Mike's boss is a decent fellow and not wanting to burst his bubble doesn't tell Mike that customers keep coming back to get their cars fixed after Mike has repaired them. In the meantime, boss man is secretly hoping that Mike changes careers in the near future to something more suitable for Mike like maybe a brain surgeon.
I used Mike for the Inspiration Challenge at
Dude Time Doodles that starts today. The challenge is to Make it Monochromatic and the inspiration is posted below.
Lastly, don't forget, today is the last day to submit your application for the Open DT Call at
Dude Time Doodles.

Love the pop of red to go with the b/w theme. Great idea to have the sentiment at a slant too.
ReplyDeleteLOL!! Too funny!! He looks like he's trying to be sexy! Great layout and papers hun!! :)
ReplyDeleteDo like the stamping - inspired!
ReplyDeleteLOL....I'm not sure I'd want him operating on MY brain! Terrific coloring job!
ReplyDeleteI love the black and white background and the touch of red on Mike really pops the image from this. Great story once again too, like Marlene I am not to sure if I would want him as any type of surgeon, let alone a brain surgeon.
ReplyDeleteWonderful card Tammy and I am sure that Mike is a guy who likes to please his customers even if he is not a wonderful mechanic. I am sure in real life there are a few of those as well. Your colouring is awesome.
ReplyDeleteooh..way to go on the monochromatic style!
