How To Make Good Custard - (a 1940's ad)

Published:
8.3K Views

Description

"Darling- to make good custard, use enough.. 2 good table spoons should do."

RULE NO. 1 Make it a habit to set a clean space helmet and sonic screwdriver near the stove for the finished custard before you begin the recipe; don’t use either for any interim steps. RULE NO. 2 Scrape the finished custard into the dedicated space helmet using the dedicated screwdriver: (then refrigerate.) Don’t be tempted to reverse the polarity of the bowl in which raw eggs where whisked, nor reuse the screwdriver setting with which you scraped the raw egg mixture into the saucepan.

Hello and happy Monday or Tuesday or Sunday if you're still on it-- I finally finished a little something I had been working on for a few months now. [Not continuously, it consisted of much picking-up-putting-down.] I think I started this in July, and I had the morning to myself, so I decided to buckle in and finish something proper. :nod: I saw this Coffee ad (Which I believe is a Norman Rockwell piece from the 1940s) and I loved the quircky pose and composition, so I decided to do a stylized version of that same ad, but with Handles and The Doctor making Custard! [Note that handsome apron] It was a simple piece, coloring-wise, but I had great fun with the composition; and of course, with our best mate handles! 


Here's the original piece. - www.americanartarchives.com/jc…

I've been watching the new Doctor Who episodes weekly and really enjoying it so far--- [I still have to sit down and watch 'Kill The Moon'] but I'm getting a better feel for Capaldi's Twelve; SO you may see some Twelvey/Capaldi artwork if we're lucky. ;) As for the other pieces I'm working on, I have some Marvel artwork [particularly some Captain America pieces] on hold, some new Sillhouette pieces, and maybe even some original work if things work well!

Hope you enjoy your day, maybe check out the store, and later sit down for a FishCustard spell if you can manage it. ;)


UPDATE: As part of the November print release-- this artwork is now available as a print on Society6! - society6.com/longfallof1979/ho…

Suggestion: Rule 2 looks awkward broken up like that. Maybe you should move it all to the next column.

But otherwise, this looks great!
