They're both nifty. I've seen banana trees before, but I've never seen them with fruit, though I knew, in the abstract, that bananas grow "upside down" (though it's right side up, from the banana's point of view!).
And I love your tiger man! Hooray for serendipity art!
This week was one of literary, rather than visual, art. I wrote six poems and five original fiction drabbles. I posted them across three entries in my journal, here, here and here.
There was also a prompt for coming up with a superhero mini-strip (I want to practice for writing a comic for my project hero, without actually burning myself out on that character). But I ran out of creative steam after the fifth drabble.
It's a lot harder, of course, to firmly establish characters, setting, relationships and conflict when you're starting from scratch, then when they're fanfiction. And, in some ways, I think it's harder to write a story of exactly 100 words than it is to just write a micro-short of approximately 100 words.
...So that even if a reader doesn't actually count the words, she or he could probably still sense the difference between a true drabble, and an almost drabble. That's why I really want drabbles to break out into the mainstream of literature.
Poems and drabbles are definitely art, I've posted songs before :)
Looking forward to seeing your strips, I probably won't be finishing my strip this week as I need to draw a get well soon card now, and then I'm away all weekend and out for my birthday meal on Monday...
