I created this submission of the character riding a giant flying turtle in Mr. Needles studio art class at Smithtown High School East. It's colorful.

Hi
We listened to studio 360 on our way home from Pennsylvania in the car and everyone wanted to join in the contest.
We made this into a fun family activity, both my daughters Ella (7) and Lucy (10) got into it and wanted to submit their doodles as did my wife, Stephanie and I. We both read Fun Home and enjoyed it very much and are great admirers of Alison's work.
Thank you very much. This is 1 of 4

GLENDA!
Couldn't do Elphaba without doing Glenda. Again, shifting the idea of floating in a bubble into an active forward flying motion was fun. And creating the universe around her in her own perception of reality. After all, we all live in our own reality.

ELPHABA!
I've always been fascinated with a shift in perception. Much like looking at the wicked witch differently in WICKED, I wanted to look at the panic of a woman hanging and shift it to something different. Something more empowering. My favorite thing is how I changed her expression. From falling to flying and defying gravity.

I'm working on a set of Anxiety Trading Cards with series for the body, work, home, pets, etc. Each card represents something to worry about. In this doodle I've used the front of the Stomach Pain card (from the Body Series). On the back it lists all the possible causes for stomach pain from the innocuous (indigestion) to the extremely unlikely but most scary (stomach cancer). I've included the back of the Impostor Card (from the Work Series). It lists all of the ways to worry about being an unworthy impostor at work. Each card has a number (the Impostor card, for example, is #4 of infinity).

Here she is taking a joy ride on a big bird...

I thought I'd rotate the image & it seemed she might be crawling up on and surprised by something -- a little alien fit the scene...

In this version of the cartoon, the character seemed in a position to be trying to rescue a kitten from a high tree branch. So... "KITTEN RESCUE!"

Both are obviously great climbers!

Being a fan and former owner of high-powered sport bikes - the sample cartoon reminded me of the stories I've heard of new sport bike owners (male and female) not being prepared for the power of that type of bike. In those stories the bike's power exceeds the owners experience... "HOLD ON!!"

Bunnies came to mind when I wondered what would cause an Alison character be so afraid that she would climb a cliff (or a giant carrot).

Doodle girl is a friend of Alison Bechdel, and wished for a good fairy to sprinkle some magic dust her way. Little did she know that her tenderhearted wish would summon the gargantuan MacArthur Fairy.

I call this one "Traffic in the Sky"
Here in NY the city has lowered the street speed limit to 25! Guaranteed to save lives quack, quaack!

This submission was inspired by the idea of coming across something awe inspiring, trying to capture it with technology, and missing the moment of the sublime.
