AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS. I shall return and leave a more intelligent comment. Maybe use big words but first I need to read a dictionary.
sweetheart bella, i will be happy to safari with you & would be thrilled to be either the girlie w/her leg in the air or the one surfing on her dear belly. either way, it's with you... heavenly. xoxoxX
although surfing is a bit scary and challenging (get that butt up!), i do love it and its culture, dude. your illustration looks likes it's going to be totally rad. enjoy your week ;)!
Please tell me it's NOT Friday and I have again lost time! ;-D Love the illustration, especially the little *Life Saver*! Surfin'Safari on a sea of sweetness! I think I could handle that! Brava!
That looks like a lot of fun! Your pieces are just so lovely! What are they surfing on though? :P By the way, do you have your own book? If not, you should make one. ;)
Boy I don't like this at all.... :) Jan and Dean, now they were the kings (queens?) but seriously, this is so cool it makes my hair bleached - err no let's try that again.... :)
You know, if I ever surf Wiakikikik I will think of this image, while I am hanging ten.
Full of joy, boy you must have lots of joy to share it around. Thank you.
PS On my fridge I have sticker "Work with Joy" - I often wonder who she is...
Le surf de la vie... La liberté se lit sur cette superbe illustration... Les rondeurs de tes lignes en font une quiétude qui me plaît... Je te fait de gros bisous en attendant d'en voir davantage...
Haha hahahaha Bella, you know that a small child taught me how to laugh evilly t'other day. The trick is to make a noise that sounds like gnah (hard 'a' as in 'gnat') at the beginning of the laugh and do it nasally so 'gnahahahahahaaaaaaaaahhhhhaa!".
Anyway, gee my email is filling up with your comments so I am going to unsubscribe, so there! gnanannnanannnaaahhhaaah!
Heh you made me laugh. No I subscribed to your comments to make sure no one said anything nice about you .... but everyone likes you and it was making me depressed - especially after the bus ticket thing and you having a year book and all :)
gnahahahahaha!
But seriously, I think you could do groovy surf fashion. Espacially if you did Jan and Dean :)
I'm surfing with you girly. You know black girls don't like to get their hair wet! Makes them turn into gremlins he he he he he! On a serious note, thanks so much for you tender words. They soothe the heart and soul. I so appreciate you and love for your friendship and support. You are the bestest in the whole wide world. Love you V
HAHAHAHA! Bella, you are as funny as she. SHE? She WHO?
Cessitis--yeah, I've had that disease for maybe a year now. Even asked my doctor--He prescribed booze. He said I'd still have cessitis, but I wouldn't KNOW it.
I found a new doctor, named Lucky. Well, he's really my dog, but he IS happy when we're together.
NOW I see Ces is trying to spam in on us--grin! Well she IS the expert. I sent her a cartoon earlier--that PEANUTS thing? It is about an artist named Linus...oh well, you'd have to SEE it!
For the record, I like spam also. Remember when it first was made--I think. WWII. We used to eat it cold, right out of the can. In foxholes. All around us were uniformed Peeps trying to 'take' our position.
OMG... I was thinking about this! Great minds think alike. ;o) This is so fabulous, fun, funny.... family friendly.....frolicky and any other (good) "F' words. :o) Love the action Bella. You are so good at conveying it. Your characters are so lovable! Rabbit-town is right! ;O)
Hi Bella! You won my giveaway, and I can't find your email OR my head. If you have either, pop me a note and I will get the giveaway (not my head) in the mail to you. It's Mookie and a book. If you'd like for me to sign it to someone in particular, just let me know! :)) xoxo!! Pam
Ohhhhh...I sense that something magical awaits us..are those waves little poly bugs? I am so excited. It's been far too long and I wanted to pop by and say hello. Hello! And your recent post is SO charming. I am having a good day - painting has put me in a happy place. Hope all is great in your world, dear Bella!
Hello :) Did you know that the wax goes on the bottom of the board to make it go faster? A lot of people don't realise this and wax the top of their boards - which just makes them slippery and is the reason many people fall off.
Now on that subject surfing is quite easy. There are only four ways to fall of a board. Off the nose off the tail and off the right side. And off the left side.
Once you have mastered falling off in all four directions you can go to step two: applying peroxide to your hair without making it go green.
:)
But seriously I stopped by to thank you so very very very much for your wonderful comments and editorial skills and eagle eye on that stuffthingitemwork I am doing!
cheers my magic word is 'strammu' which is what I am about to do :)
Woo, Bella, when I see your happy illustration, I can listen the sound of the sea and music :) thanks for make me smile. Hugs and have a nice saturday.
Wow! This looks awesome! So adventurous! And i love the colour or non-colour for that matter. It's great, but what can i say, your stuff is always great!:)
Okay are you ready for some surf talk 'hey great bottom turn, great reo, fantastic wipout, outa my way eggroll, look at that boomer, look at that greenback, out the back! Great barrel, oh wonderful coverup, groovy smah man, wow what a floater, go left! go left! go for it brufddha, hey you a local, great a frame, hey it;s pumping eh?"
next time y ou are in hawaii make sure you scatter a smattering of these expressions and they will think you are areall gidget dudette :)
Love this, Bella!! Just stopping by to say thank you for all your sweet comments. Seeing your name in my comments always brings a smile to my face!! Much love, Silke
Bella - utterly charming illustration - I wonder what the 'even larger WIP' is! Love the Beach Boys too - is it really from 1962???!! Thanks so much for your really lovely comment about my website - so glad you like it!
Bellllaaa.....YAY for the starfish position, Yay for the starfish position! It is what my eldest did as a baby (I would wrap her up as a baby burrito and out popped one fist, then whole arm, and then the other, shortly to follow). I loved that. I still do. She still sleeps that way and I think it's so amazingly sweet. Thank you for noticing! I can't wait to see your masterpiece here...I hope all has been well in your world. I'm glad you prodded Ces to open the oil tube. From what I see, it will be a gem (it already is). Thank you for popping by..I must get to bed now, but wanted to say hello to my dear friend!
This is so fun! Also super cool that my comment is #108!!! You have quite the devoted following, Miss Bella! GOOD FOR YOU!!! Your artwork is stunning! Hope that you have been doing well! :)
Nina...don't let the number 108 fool you. Bella 'keeps' all her SPAM comments--grin!!!!!
But...isn't Bella Beautiful? And her work unsurpassed? How lovely the characterizations of Peeps. And illos which float like dreams in the before-dawn moments.
PLEASE know I was only kidding in the first lines of this comment. Peeps who love maybe can DO that. Bella. TSUP!
You have created the perfect drawing for my dollhouse beach house! Do I have your permission to copy it and shrink it? It will look SO CUTE in my little house! Blessings to you sweet friend. Your art inspires me!
he he he he he he he he he he! You are so famous!!! How are you darling? I know it's been forever, but girl when you are trying to pack 47 years into so dang boxes all hell breaks loose! Girl it's been so much dang gone drama I can't stand it. I have been wanting to write, but trying to find the time has been super hard. People can't find tooth brushes and underwear and spoons and folks mixed in with clothing and ton and tons of books. It's a whole lot really. I hope that you and the girls are doing well. What are you plans for the summer this time? Hope that it's a good summer for you guys. Sending you much love and well wishes too. Overloaded V

You're so dang popular, almost cheerleader popular. Homecoming Blog Queen Bella.
Well, you deserve it!
Hey, I like this one, but with all that candy it's just SCREAMIN' for a color pass! Don'tcha think?
Cowabunga! I have never surfed with a board, but when I was a teen in SoCal, I body surfed. And went through many wash cycles - lol! xox Pam
Boy I don't like this at all.... :) Jan and Dean, now they were the kings (queens?) but seriously, this is so cool it makes my hair bleached - err no let's try that again.... :)
You know, if I ever surf Wiakikikik I will think of this image, while I am hanging ten.
Full of joy, boy you must have lots of joy to share it around. Thank you.
PS On my fridge I have sticker "Work with Joy" - I often wonder who she is...
Looks like a fun adventure!
Ahhh! What an adorable drawing dear Bella! These littles are doing two things I know and love well, surfing and safari! Oh, and the Beach Boys!
Have a wonderful week! And thank you for sharing another beautiful illustration!
This is so charming, Bella! I love it. You have such a fabulous style. Thanks for your note on my blog! I'm glad you liked the goodies. xo
Le surf de la vie... La liberté se lit sur cette superbe illustration... Les rondeurs de tes lignes en font une quiétude qui me plaît... Je te fait de gros bisous en attendant d'en voir davantage...
Bella. BELLA! Your work makes my heart speed, and my soul jump with the Joy of having 'met' you and your peeps here.

Who were the "Beach Boys" though???
LOLOL! Gotcha!
TSUP

Really, really beautiful...it's a feast for the eyes.
Haha hahahaha Bella, you know that a small child taught me how to laugh evilly t'other day. The trick is to make a noise that sounds like gnah (hard 'a' as in 'gnat') at the beginning of the laugh and do it nasally so 'gnahahahahahaaaaaaaaahhhhhaa!".
Anyway, gee my email is filling up with your comments so I am going to unsubscribe, so there! gnanannnanannnaaahhhaaah!
my word is 'ankalmni' and I deserve it :)
Heh you made me laugh. No I subscribed to your comments to make sure no one said anything nice about you .... but everyone likes you and it was making me depressed - especially after the bus ticket thing and you having a year book and all :)
gnahahahahaha!
But seriously, I think you could do groovy surf fashion. Espacially if you did Jan and Dean :)
How cool are those kids :)
gnahanahahhaha!
I'm surfing with you girly. You know black girls don't like to get their hair wet! Makes them turn into gremlins he he he he he! On a serious note, thanks so much for you tender words.

Ahem. I have missed spamming my favorite blog.
Ahem...Spamming?
Did I read SPAMMING???
I can HELP!!!! You need help--well, maybe not. But I am GooooD at spamming--grin!
LOVE
THIS
PLACE!!!
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Can you come out and play? I don't think you can see me?
HAHAHAHA! Bella, you are as funny as she. SHE? She WHO?
Cessitis--yeah, I've had that disease for maybe a year now. Even asked my doctor--He prescribed booze. He said I'd still have cessitis, but I wouldn't KNOW it.
I found a new doctor, named Lucky. Well, he's really my dog, but he IS happy when we're together.
Ooops! Didn't mean to 'send'! Now, where was I...or where WERE we? Hey, you guys are REAL artists, and I gotta tell ya, I'm hooked!
Spam I AM!
TSUP
NOW I see Ces is trying to spam in on us--grin! Well she IS the expert. I sent her a cartoon earlier--that PEANUTS thing? It is about an artist named Linus...oh well, you'd have to SEE it!
For the record, I like spam also. Remember when it first was made--I think. WWII. We used to eat it cold, right out of the can. In foxholes. All around us were uniformed Peeps trying to 'take' our position.
Ahhhh! Boy Scouting WAS lots of fun!
Signing off! ZZZZzzzzzzzzz...........
TSUP!
Hey! Get back to what you were doing. Stop blogging!
You are whole spam, unadulterated.
When Renee and I were exchanging thoughtful comments you left gutteral sounds.
You left comments like Ugh! Gah! Arrgh! While Renee and I were discussing heavily.
Actually we were just heavy. Goodnight. Tsup!
love everything you do. this is so fabulous and clever.
Ate it, Ate it
Last night, I say
Threw it Threw it
Back up today
Will try again tomorrow
Yo eat it, eat it
Again
But than
Think of my sorrow
Because what I will eat tomorrow
Already ate, ate yesterday
And it sure looks messy,
I say messier, than
any spam what am
I'll cure myself
And only eat spam
Fresh off shelf
Spam which AM
Not spam which WAS!!!
Bella, eat a can today...
What? No SPAM today?
just the way kids should be... happily discovering new things! :D
OMG... I was thinking about this! Great minds think alike. ;o) This is so fabulous, fun, funny.... family friendly.....frolicky and any other (good) "F' words. :o) Love the action Bella. You are so good at conveying it. Your characters are so lovable! Rabbit-town is right! ;O)
That drawing just made me laugh and feel free..
Thanks...
Oooooooooooo, may I come, Bella? I have my own life saver. You'll barely notice me. Nor do I get sea sick. Delightful! Big love to you, Deb
Bella, how could I miss that illo?? No idea but now I am here and WOW... this is just sooo beautiful!! You are so good at drawing characters!
Good Night!
TSUP!
Everytime I see ur work, I just can't help admirimg u more n more...LOVELY ILLO:))))))))))))
Really, Bella, the little guy in the life saver broke me up! :) What fun they're having.
sweet sweet sweeeeet,my dear Bella!!!
Love the pattern and movement in this Bella. I've only had the courage to go bodyboarding, surfing scares me too much!
Hi Bella! You won my giveaway, and I can't find your email OR my head. If you have either, pop me a note and I will get the giveaway (not my head) in the mail to you. It's Mookie and a book. If you'd like for me to sign it to someone in particular, just let me know! :)) xoxo!! Pam
I LOVE it!! I wanna go with you!! : )))
I love this!!! cute as can be!
YeahHHHHHHH, they look like pros to me.
Totally sweet and adorable, love it!
Fantastic. Where does all the charm and enchantment come from? You ooze it. I love it. The lifesaver especially.
Whimsy. Enchantment. Charm. Bella.
It probably sounds trite if I say it too much so perhaps I'll reserve words like these for every ten art posts or so, but: You're amazing!
See??? I am not the only one who feels the way I do about your art! Yes, amazing, lovable, wonderful, I LOVEEEE it!
I saw your framed art on a birthday boy's wall and I tell you, it's stunning! He will probably come here and tell you about it. Hahahahah!
Maybe between green eggs and ham
You will say to yourself, "I am
Going to visit Steve today,
See what he has to say."
Ya never know when your eyes
Might find a bit of surprise...
So, COME ON OVER! Sweet Bella Gaga!
My 'poetic' dictionary displayed 73 words which rhyme with "Gaga".
But I did not think you'd waste an hour to read one comment...
Ohhhhh...I sense that something magical awaits us..are those waves little poly bugs? I am so excited. It's been far too long and I wanted to pop by and say hello. Hello!

Ahh I forgot to mention those people who wax their bottoms as opposed to wax the bottoms of their surfboards
but they are another kittle of feesh as they say it New Zeelund
Hey! That's what I want for my birthday--a 'bottom-wax'..or DO I?
Nah. But hey, Lady Bella, why did I think it was your B'day also? I must have misunderstood a post by Ces Adorio. So sorry.
I used to call her "Ces" but she commented to me: "Ces ADORIO" to YOU!
And now MY day is finished. So back to normal...NO! I will NOT take down those pictures -- it is MY gallery. So THERE!--grin!
Take car, Bella--you ARE a Gemini, though. Right? What Day?
Dear Bella,
it's so sweet and so funny!!! I love it :)
Hugs
Sonata

Thanks so much for your really lovely comment about my website - so glad you like it!
Bellllaaa.....YAY for the starfish position, Yay for the starfish position! It is what my eldest did as a baby (I would wrap her up as a baby burrito and out popped one fist, then whole arm, and then the other, shortly to follow). I loved that. I still do.

But...isn't Bella Beautiful? And her work unsurpassed? How lovely the characterizations of Peeps. And illos which float like dreams in the before-dawn moments.
PLEASE know I was only kidding in the first lines of this comment. Peeps who love maybe can DO that.
Bella. TSUP!
Cette dernière publication pour Ces est magnifique et émouvante... je pense que c'est un beau présent...
Bisous
You have created the perfect drawing for my dollhouse beach house! Do I have your permission to copy it and shrink it? It will look SO CUTE in my little house!
Blessings to you sweet friend.
Your art inspires me!
How lovely and energising. I want to get out my buggy board . . . a bit too cool in the Antarctic Ocean though.
I am so glad that You and Ces are such great friends Bella.

A little spam...for Bella, Ma'am:
Yep, I'm on the lam
Stole a case of Spam

They not part of this sham
Besides, they don't give a damn
Or even know where I am
Yep, it's me--same old Sam
Sam-on-the-Lam
'King' of Spam...
Your letter to Ces was OUTSTANDING. The feeling, the life, the truth, the love there--so impressive.
The Higher Power has performed some marvelous works between and with you Twin-Sister-Friends!
Much PEACE--and prayers for your intentions...both of you!
Steve END!
