Last week I asked for people to give me illustration ideas on twitter using the hashtag #SwartDrawsTweets. Thanks for everyone who gave me suggestions. Here are a few of them.
The Stig
Brent Ozar tweeted:
@Jorriss @MJSwart Running Enterprise Edition on 8GB of RAM is like The Stig driving PowerWheels. #SwartDrawsTweets

(Sorry Richie. Use the hashtag!)
The Drive-thru
Then Aaron Bertrand tweeted:
A RIGHT JOIN makes me think of a person going through the McDonald's drive-thru backwards #SwartDrawsTweets

M. C. Escher
Ken Fisher had this idea
An M.C. Escher type image of layered views (ex the ones that use linked servers to call views that use linked servers …) #SwartDrawsTweets

He probably had a different idea in mind, but I’ve always loved Escher’s Bond of Union.
Bonus Regional Illustration
And of course I saved the best for last which all Canadians will get:
Using These Images
By the way, I really had fun doing these images, so share away. I waive any copyright I have on these three images. Copy them, modify them without attribution wherever you like. Profit if you can. Go nuts.
Oh we cannot see the last drawing #Denied #OthersAreAwesome

Sorry Ed. It’s too bad. You’re visiting the site from Florida right? I adjusted the settings again. Let me know if that fixed it.

I can see it now but I had to VPN to Tuvalu.
