reymonkeySo I meant to update earlier in the week, like Tuesday morning, but it kind of didn't happen. Anyways! A new art: Dirk Gently meets The Shadow. He is later found unconscious in an alley, and on waking, plaintively groans "He could have just asked me to be quiet..."
This was just a silly little thing I did in between stuff, and the coloring is kind of crappy, but it was an experiment. Need to work on the painting of Maggie now. I really hate having so many drawings started but not finished. For some reason that bothers me in a way all the ones I haven't started at all don't.
Yesterday was the first day of a two-week catsitting job, which is cool because it's paid, and the kitties are nice. The WTF part was going out to my car to go there and finding somebody threw a bowlful of... ramen? on my windshield. With a few little chunks of potatoes. And maybe some scrambled egg. I got a pretty good look because it was damn hard to clean off, especially since my car has never had windshield wiper fluid in the time I've owned it because the resevoir for it is cracked. Yurgh. But the gas station had a window cleaning thingie that did a better job of it, and I'm over it, so now it's just a 'WTF?' moment. When we got to the house with the cats, there was someone else there cleaning (We'd been forewarned about that), and she was nice and cheerful and told us we should expect surprises. Expect a surprise every day! It sounded like something my mother would say. I almost told her I'd got mine in the form of noodles on my car, but I didn't want to sound grouchy.
Also! A plug! In case nobody reads Shad's LJ I will stand and wave my arms and point out that he's just gotten webpage set up! And I'm totally not plugging it just because I helped him beat the tables into behaving. He's got some good writing up there. I think we should all poke him until he puts the NaNovel up too.
Off to drink lots of coffee and make myself get down to watercolor pencils again...

That's really gross. You're sure it wasn't barf?

I'm pretty sure somebody just decided they didn't like their noodles and threw it out a moving car window or something. People do shit like that around here. There's a pair of flip-flops in the road since yesterday, right smack in the middle. They probably came out a window too, but I keep picturing it as the summer equivalent of a pair of smoking boots, like some guy got hit in the road so fast he left his shoes behind...
