Press release and doodle, pencil on paper, 11 x 8 1/2, 2009

My friend Seth L works for the media and receives a steady stream of press releases. Most of them are boring, but last week he got the following one about a special event in Texas where Nascar fans can interact with miniature horses:

Seth's press release inspired me to sketch a stock car surrounded by little horses. 

 UPDATE: If anyone is interested, I am selling this drawing for $1,000.

That is cool. I'm particularly intrigued by the claim that "Live demonstrations will include halter, obedience, and driving. Yes, minis can do it all!" They can drive? Can they enter NASCAR? And is the drawing $1000 framed or unframed?

[John U]

That is confusing. I think "driving" means that they will be harnessed together and pull a miniature stage coach. Or maybe a full size stage coach? What a great family outing.

I will frame the car/mini-horse sketch at no additional cost.
