i've been meaning to draw a pub sign, because of its appealing design. even more appealing are {silly} pub names. so i mused upon this week's theme, as i saw a key and hole rising. now for some beer ☻ and keys and holes at renilde's.
haha, you made me laugh! that's really funny! And at the same time a love your sign, really well done! I can imagine it hanging in england in front of a pub, fits perfect!
Our Pubs don't have those funny names, oh ang on, there's a few - The Pig and Whistle springs to mind, but on the whole they're pretty boring. I am (and this is embarrassing to admit) a little bit addicted to British crime shows. At the moment it's Dalziel and Pascoe and Inspector George Gently - lots of great Pub names in those.
p.s in reply to your note, it's a "front" I'll be in touch soon x
bravo! drawing accomplished! and a lovely one it is too. love a good pub sign....love a good pub even better! (some of my favorite pub names (and i've been in a few: the slug and lettuce, the swan in the rushes......ye olde trippe to jerusalem........)esp in good company. xo
I saw this wondering what you would do..... and here it is in all its glory. Im thinking its my favourite of mine of your work and thats pretty hard to do since I love all of your work.
Have a wonderful week Miss Woolfie that email is acoming.....Ill put my nose to the grindstone this week.
I do so love good signage, Nadine, and your drawing is wonderful. I would definitely stop in for a sip at this pub (root beer only, please). love and a happy week to you, sus
Dear lovely Nadine, I had to laugh over the silly names and especially couldn't stop at "The Drunken Duck" oh gee! So I hope one windy or perhaps sunny day we will sit together in the "Silly Drunken Duck" or whatever, makes me grin! Your drawings and else are unique and funny as always and I can't wait to find out all uncanny similarities and differences! Schoolholidays here starts 21.6. and weatherpermitting we will start to head somewhere... Now that you saw my little fury friend, she's a real cutie and I hope thats not to scary anymore... Love + hugs BarbaraBee
pub signs, they are great things, funny and often also very nice to look at. yours is both and more...because you made it :) in the UK they have a tradition of pub signs, here in belgium the older pubs have names like 'onder de toren, de reisduif, de ware vrienden etc.' yet they make me smile too. thanks for playing , xx
Haha, Nadine, I nearly fell off my chair when I saw this post! You know why? There IS a pub called "Schlüsselloch" (=keyhole) here in Aachen! Haha! I didn't think of it during the challenge, but now! Okay, you're invited!! :oD

Dear Nadeschda,
ReplyDeletea pub with that sign would attracted me... like a key I would disappear...
Great, Dear!

the shield shape is very suited to a pub - though i haven't been to a pub in decades, and perhaps they've changed since then.
ReplyDeleteTruly, this pub sign is great. In my dreams, I will watch for this sign, when I'm travelling, and if I see it, I'll pop in and have a brew! N, xo
