Fans will know where the words in my title came from... the title of my new drawing, which displays some more quotes from the same source...

I was listening to The Doors Movie Soundtrack (i gotta own the director's cut version of that movie, dammit!) the other day in my discman on the way to work and "The End" came on ... one of the funnest songs to sing to, cuz it goes crazy all over the place with the lyrics, hehe. 
Suddenly the part when Jim starts singing, "The blue bus... is callin' us ..." i had this thought about this VW Bus that i used to see back home in Chilliwack, BC parked in the school parking lot from time to time.  It was SUCH a cool color blue for a vehicle - not wimpy-baby blue, and not boring sports-car blue ... i guess most like the cover of the blue Weezer album.  I used to vow to own that bus at some point in my life, and i think it had a "for sale" sign for a while, too ... (Though i never really captured that blue in this drawing, sadly)

And so i wanted to bring it into a drawing with a trippy girl with crazy rainbow hair in all the right places, hehe!
People may remember my other Doors lyric drawing, "Fair Sister." 

Also, when i was living with Paul and Larry in the house, one of Paul's friends, Darcy, had this bright orange VW bus, so that's where the door color comes from.  He was a cool guy, too, he was always real friendly to me.  One of those tall lumbering guys, sorta chubby, but not wide - and with a feel of being clumsy, if you've known a person like such. 

Anyway, the scan really sucks out the warmth of the real colors, but i hope you enjoy the rainbow hairs, anyway!!

"On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again."

"When you go to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair."

"They say that there's nobody meaner than the little old lady from Pasedena."

Woooow, how good is this?! i don’t know what to say, it is such a wonderful colorful hippy picture. Fantastic! Have you ever sold a picture before?

:-) Nick P. ´LimeGreenSquid´ Marton replies: "I would like to sell my work (i could never sell one of my own originals, but if someone wanted me to draw something for them i could sell it). I sold a picture to someone in the UK once. And thank you very much!"

:-) Nick P. ´LimeGreenSquid´ Marton replies: "Hehe, yup. The eyebrows are hair afterall, they GOTTA be coloured the same way as the rest, hehe. Well, except in the case of blonds with brown brows ... well, whatever, haha. It was just a fun little detail. Glad you liked it!
Yah, living like hippies in a van does sound like a fun idea. "

I must say I really enjoy your style for the most part but I think this one is my fave 2 Being both a BBW myself and a lover/admirer of women, I find it refreshing that you can draw these women with such love and care. It is a far too few people appreciate the natural bodies of women with curves and/or draw them in a flattering light (I usually see them eating, as if that’s all a BBW woman does) Thank you, thank you for putting your stuff out there and sharing it with all of us even though there are plenty of ignorance in both of our worlds, it’s nice to see some who can understand and love us 2 thanks again, take care 2

:-) Nick P. ´LimeGreenSquid´ Marton replies: "Aw, you’re welcome, and thank you very much. I try my best to stay true to drawing women as they are, and in different shapes and sizes, because natural beauty is true beauty, and i like to reflect that. And it makes me happy to know my work is appreciated, thank you!"
