This mornings sky! Good morning & what a beautiful morning it is! The sky was bright magenta! I can't seem to take photos of it but today was close. Inspired by the sky before the day even begins - awesome. Inspiration is everywhere but I am often inspired by other humans - aren't we all... Today I'm telling you about my friend Ivan, who has inspired for at least a decade.
Ivan and I met when he invited me to draw/cartoon for Treating Yourself magazine! I noticed & admired his editorial cartoons & showed him some of my work - the next thing I knew, I was a regular feature with Ivan in every magazine! We also became friends and were able to meet a few times a year, always a pleasure. Ivan is one of the nicest humans I've ever had the pleasure of meeting and calling friend. He's very creative (as is his wife & family) besides being a cartoonist he is a game designer, logo designer, cannabis artist & enthusiasts, editorial cartoonist and float creator. His floats are incredible & powerful, a message for all to see on a huge scale with movement too! I told him with his current float, he is officially the biggest (heehee) editorial cartoonist in the world, imo. The parade has been happening since 1975
Ivan had a cool experience recently, the person/politician portrayed on the float actually showed up to see it in person!
Lol, I can only imagine the giggles to be had. Can you imagine Trudeau doing the same? Phhhbt, the way things are in Canada at the moment -he's probably have Ivan arrested & stop him from accessing his bank account, call him names and definitely have him BLOCKED, from sharing. Can we even have a parade?? Our PEACEFUL protest was like a parade, until police trampled protestors. Anyway, enough about Trudeau the traitor - what a celebration this parade is!
The photos look like everyone is having a fantastic time! I'd love to see it in person.
I wonder how long it takes - a year, I wonder how many fish masks were made? See more photos here:

The pen is mightier than the sword, cartoonist have been proving that since the beginning of time - especially political cartoonist! Who knows maybe this politician will sort things out -by the people for the people (world wide). I'm grateful to call Ivan friend, he always has a positive word, is caring, funny and VERY inspiring, I wish Switzerland was closer, I'd love to hang out in the shop for a few hours & watch the creations happen. Ivan & a team created the float & thousands were able to enjoy, wonderful. I think the politician must have a great sense of humour - it really looks like him, of course.
Ivan has a www.ivanart.net. if you'd like to learn more about this creative genius & all around lovely human.
I'm a fan especially of Ivans: Why?Why Not? Have a peek:
http://www.ivanart.net/why-not. he also a book, t shirt & prints available!
A great gift for those who appreciate the pen being mightier than the sword.
