Contraption ©Caroline Soer 2011
For this week's Illustration Friday theme of contraption, here is one of the most devious devices ever invented - the deckchair!
Plus a little bonus - this lovely old YouTube Heineken advert featuring Norman Wisdom doing battle with a deckchair.
haha yes i totally agree!
ReplyDeleteLawn chairs…so frustrating. Good idea!
ReplyDeleteha ha,,,you had me cracking up when I saw your illustration as it is soooo true. Love it!
ReplyDeleteHehehehehe, love the look on her face.
ReplyDeleteOy! How did you know I will have to battle some deck chairs this weekend when we go to the beach???? I think I must go practice.
Wonderful drawing Caroline! I remember those from my childhood.
ReplyDeleteLove this drawing. You captured the feelings of trying to set up one of these contraptions. Great.
ReplyDeleteYep, there's nothing that a good beer can't fix! Really cute video and I love your sketch of it. Deck chairs are not easy to draw.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first read the title I thought it said 'constipation' and couldn't figure out what the deck chair was for...LOL
ReplyDeleteHey--thanks for your comment on my blog! I didn't expect anyone to comment, but it's so appreciated. This is a very funny drawing. It's true though, that we ordinarily pretty intelligent people can be so stymied by seemingly simple things.
ReplyDeleteSO fun..perfect stance of the lady..you got it just right! That is so true..how do they get those things to work? : )
ReplyDeletehaha, I have also lived something with those contraption-chairs :) haha
ReplyDeleteWonderful drawing - I've watched my husband trying to do that on numerous occasions!
