Kicking Archimedes's Butt (WAWE Prompt)


Trey was pretty sure this guy was the source of all his math woes.
"I'm going to kick your butt Archie!" he said.

    Ah!! This is truly awesome! I enjoy everything about this! The contrast between Archimedes and Trey; in style and expressions! And, I love Trey's confidence in kicking Archie's butt! Love it! :D

    Oh my dear. Yes, lets do LOTS of math kicking butt since it was the source of many of my school day woes! Love it Vanessa. Fun, great character expression, lovely spots of color... perfect! Thanks for sharing my dear and have a great week. ;)

    You don't know how timely this image is Vee, we are having to do math several hours a day here for a retest. So we are math-ing it up like crazy around here, and Cyan hates math! Love this one, it is so creative and fun, love the contrasts, the intensity of the color and the eyes are just fabulous.

    Hahahaha...Hilarious! I like Trey's attitude and Archimedes' amused look that seems to say "Don't count your chicken's too soon kid...Oh, wait do you know to count at all?"

    and you have a big heart, Vanessa! thank you :) your comments always make me smile (OHHHHH DIOS MIO! mmmh... when I was a child, I connected math to music, so it wasn't a big deal... but when I grew up...)

    BOY!! I COULDN'T AGREE MORE WITH TREY! Oh sorry, was I yelling? Please forgive me. Math and I just did not get along. Even now, I'm intimated by numbers (unless it's a big one with a lot of zeros behind it in a check for moi):)

    Love your style, girlie. As per usual, those facial expressions you do so well make for a fun visit to your neck of the woods.

    I enjoyed our talk, hope we can do it again soon.

    Much love to you!

    NESSA! YOUR BANNER IS FABULOUS! I love it. It is totally awesome! I love you in the car and the look on the cats face. And your caption is perfect for your fun and mayhem, "The Craziness of Vanessa Brantley-Newton." How befitting!
