The Reading Fairy
When I
was little I was jealous of BigBro.
HE got to go to school!
He knew how to read!
HE got to carry big important looking books!
HE got to have homework! I thought it was all so cool! (What
can I say? I was uninformed! LOL)
So on my
first day of ‘real’ school I was so excited!
I was
going to learn to READ!
The
problem was…..someone told me there was a magic reading fairy (not saying who……BigBro)
who waved a wand over your head and ‘poof’ you knew how to read!
No one
told me you had to PRACTICE reading! What was all this phonetic stuff?
Where was
the magic wand?
I still
remember coming home that first day and feeling sooooo disappointed and
betrayed!

Let’s Play a Game
It’s called ‘Whatever Happened To……?’
We ALL do it. Our minds drift back to our childhood and we
begin to wonder…..whatever happened to our best friend from fourth grade …….whatever
happened to the seven Schmidt kids, all with names that started with ‘M’
(which, BTW, I still remember….all seven of them!)
Then of course we Google…….just out of curiosity mind you, to
see what pops up.
And what to my wondering eyes should appear?
I find that an old boyfriend lives 2.7 miles away from me!
Did you get that???? TW0 POINT SEVEN MILES AWAY!
I’m sure we must shop at the same grocery store! Not that
either one of us would recognize the other….I hope.
But what are the chances that I moved over fourteen hundred
miles and ended up two point seven miles away from him? We didn’t live that close
to each other when we were dating for God’s sake!
If I find out my ex-fiancé lives here I'm moving!

It's Official!
I'm officially an illustrator!
No, I was NOT hired by the New Yorker. No, I did NOT sell my book idea to a publishing house. No, I did NOT self publish a comic strip that went viral......
What I did do was buy myself a pair of finger-less cotton gloves to wear while I work on Cindy Cintiq!
So now, at least, I LOOK official!

B&W
I'm officially addicted to the Cintiq, which I have lovingly named Cindy. Cindy Cintiq......I think it's quite catchy. She seems to like it too!
And I've been in a black and white mood lately.
Playing with character development and expressions.
Which, of course, leads my mind in all sorts of directions and story lines........
I know JUST how Martin feels........lol.
And I've been in a black and white mood lately.

And I need lots of practice with body shapes/types/positions.
Hence this:
Every year their mother made them pose for a picture, in their nice new clothes, on the first day of school |
.....which then lead to this........
Martin was NOT happy about the first day of school |
I know JUST how Martin feels........lol.
