IF Sink

                                                         

                                                            Size: 11 x 16 cms
                                                            Media: Pen and Ink
                                                            Pens: Sailor Sapporo & Copic Marker


It is generally thought that a ship's Captain should go down if his ship should sink. This is a myth apparently. If a ship sinks it is the Captain's duty to ensure the safety of all others on board before his own. So if there isn't time to get off he would therefore be the last (or one of them) and go down with his ship....it's not a voluntary pride duty thing after all!

    Rod, muy cierto, qué sutíl observador eres tú. te juro que nunca lo hubiera pensado.

    I always thought that the captains were very brave men!

    Of course, now I realize why that myth does not exist, in the case of an aircraft's captain!!!!!!...
    ...he do not have time to be brave when a plane falls!!!!
    good weekend!!!!

    I love he keeps his posture...not everyone would under those circumstances.
    The little fishes are the perfect final touch :)

    funny he keeps his posture, even when he's under water, like the bells, the little fishes too and his knees :-)

    I guess the captain should say "It's okay, no worries, I was going down, anyway." Great drawing!

    That's good to know. This illustration made me laugh, though, and then I felt uncomfortable for laughing, because it's not really a laughing matter. GREAT drawing!

    Notice how he stands on his tippy-toes, to prolong the inevitable end.

    Those cute little fishies will eat well tonight. A Lovely drawing, my friend.

    GRACIAS!! Feliz Navidad!!! ¿No lo dije ya aquí?
    Ah... ese hombre retornará al ruedo!!! ya verás, como un torero!!!
    (posiblemente él tenga un ataque de una enfermedad llamada: "el blog me tiene harto"
    Yo creo que sólo, él está esperando que todos nosotros le pidamos que él vuelva)
