Art imitates life right? Or is it the other way around?


If the above "rough" sketch isn't telling of my week, I don't know what is.

Completely and totally: Rough.

So rough in fact that I woke up this morning with those super crusties on my eyelids, drool on the pillow and my hair frizzed out to the ceiling.

SIDENOTE: Can you believe I found a man to love me even when I look like that!? Or can you believe I said "eye crusties" in my blog? Well, prepare yourself then...because I have had a very rough week and there is NO telling whats about to spill out onto the page. I apologize in advance.

Anyway, where was I?

Right. The nice morning visual I gave you...

It was one of those mornings where you wish with every part of you that the sunlight would just shrivel up and disappear and that the birds would just stop singing for two whole minutes so you can close your eyes again...

but noooo.

The sun kept on shining and the birds sang their little hearts out...and Brayden wanted to get up...and yup.

I eventually rose out of bed (frizzy hair and all) and yelled at the top of my lungs, "WHYYYYY!!!???"

Im kidding!

I actually dragged myself out of bed and into the bathroom and nearly screamed when I saw myself in the mirror.

My own son did not even recognize me, ok? And Im being serious.

I tossed and turned all night... it seems the flu has somehow pushed it's nasty way into our house and if I knew who was responsible for passing it on to my husband I would...well...hmmm...I would do something really horrible like pass him something nasty in return! Oooo, Like all of my really gross leftovers in the wayyy back of the fridge that I keep meaning to toss out. I'd give those to him/her and they'd be really sorry.

AND my son is teething. (which is not pretty or cute at all)

AND I have gotten almost nothing done as far as drawing...and I miss it.

So "rough" is the word of the day. Use it in at least one sentence today.

On another slightly-happier note, the above sketch and color chart produced something last night that well, surprise, is actually nice and perfect!

I guess good things can come out of "rough" afterall?



Here is hoping your day is yucky-free, rough-free and of course, flu-free.

I'll be back very soon!
