Tea for you and tea for me....

Memoirs of the break-up

Last summer I had the good fortune to get a gig in the movie "the break-up" (coming out in June). There was an art fair scene, so I set up my booth and my friend Eva & I worked as extras for two days of shooting. We had a running joke about Vince Vaughn ... so in my first attempt at collage I made this for Eva for her birthday. I think I'm hooked...too much hgtv!

Song

Illustration Friday Topic = Song

This is my sketchbook entry from September 12, 2003, the day Johnny Cash died. My Dad always used to sing and play his songs on the guitar, I remember the night my parents went to see his concert at the Mary E Sawyer Auditorium in LaCrosse, WI, I was too young to go...wish I had gone as an adult as I also love the songs he recorded in his later years.

Simple...

Illustration Friday Topic  = Simple

If someone else were pulling the strings

it would be a Simple life...but boring and uninspired.

Chair

Illustration Friday Topic = Chair

I do most of my sketchbook entries in the living room, these images were

definitely inspired by chairs - especially the "Napolean". The top

two images were done with a fading old Sharpie and the bottom

with my favorite pen, the Uniball VISION.

Glamour...

Illustration Friday topic = Glamour

For a gal with very LARGE feet...cute shoes and

cool boots in my size are hard to come by.

It doesn't help that I insist on wearing

only comfortable shoes. My tall black boots

- however low-heeled - are one of my more glamourous

accessories. They bring back memories of the very fancy tall

white vinyl boots I had as a kid back in the 70's.
