Illustration Friday: Tea

Hooray! I finished my piece for this week's Illustration Friday. Now to go make more stuff!

DO NOT WANT!

=

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Little things that make what you do seem worth it.

Today after doing the puppet show performance I walked out and thanked the audience as I usually do, and then a little girl in a purple dress came up to me and hugged me. She later came into the theatre with her friends totally in awe of the puppets, and then she said to Puppetmaster Lewis, "For your next show, could you do a story about princesses? Like, the Little Mermaid, or Beauty and the Beast? That's the good idea." So cute.

Illustration Friday: "Song"

Today's illustration is a portrait of my favorite pop music goofball, Ashlee Simpson. Ever since seeing her Millie Vanilli slip up on live tv I've been obsessed with the manufactured pop princess and how such a mildly talented and mundane person has become so successful. It's all the marketing to rabid pre-teens, I know.

In contrast, the words on the left page are lyrics to a Cake Like song named "Ashley," because I like to think of the Simpson sisters when I listen to this song, hehee.

ARG. Have to go to work now!

my head hurts...stupid...head.

Probably because I'm awake right now, and I really shouldn't be. Oh, the stomach hurts too. Probably because I ate too much meat again tonight. Not chicken meat though, and this little hen is quite happy about that.

Drawn by Michael during our superfantastico anniversary extravaganza, during which I spent way more on food than I intended to. OH WHAT HAVE I DONE?! Speaking of money...

I now have things for sale online! Well, one thing so far, but more once I dig through all my art stuff and upload the images. It's like an art spring cleaning! Or...an art soul cleansing! Yeah...?

I'm taking advantage of the "no fees" weekend at Etsy.com and offering these prints for sale:

11x14 print slick and glossy like a lollipop. MMm YUmmy. Please support your friendly neighborhood Annie and buy now: Headexplodie.etsy.com!

I need to save up for a trip to Texas and this little thing next month. Frikkin' Data the android!!! and frikkin' Rupert Giles! and Jayne Cobb! And...and...! Yeah. If you didn't already know I am a big honkin' nerd. Buy my stuff!

And finally, I shall re-direct you to this great .mp3, "Understanding Marx" by Red Shadow, because I've been listening to too much School House Rock at work, and selling yourself to the Man is no fun at all!
