et voila

Just watched that House episode about the woman who blogged about everything but her poop, thanks for reminding me BB. Made me realize I blog about less and less. But I really don't want to bore you guys with my poop. I couldn't if I wanted too, our toilet is an American model, poop just drops in the water. In Europe they have these toilets where you can examine what you've done before you flush it. I kind of miss that.

Tomorrow I'll finish the colouring. And start number two. I hope.

My stupid cold finally over, and just as I start to enjoy that, my body reminds me that I am still not out of eggs. Out of Tylenol I was, but my lovely Kristin neighbour brought me a jar. And now I'm exhausted, goodnight.

Somebody asked me for a PDF with some portraits because he said he says he knows someone he wants to show them too. And hey, I'm all for networking. But the sheet I made also made me think. I know people living off lamp posts in Toronto. What would you think if I'd put them up in Rosedale or The Annex? You think the rich people would go for one?

I was kind of sick since my last drawing. Still am, more or less, and behind schedule. Hence the weekend working. Time to go flat on the couch now.

I'll take another good look at him in the morning and then I am going to have a nice print done for Gerald.

Almost there, almost there. His likeness needs to be spot on, because my whole street knows what Gerald looks like. His hair is going to be white, in a next stage, that will do a lot for the likeness too.

i can... cut back

I don't think we are the NRC target audience anymore. This article gives tips on how to cut back, but we already do everything they come up with! We don't have a car, we renovate our own house, we always go camping, we do our cooking from scratch, and we buy second hand clothes. What I find funny is that the article tells us to buy these clothes out in the province, because the brand clothes sell out quickly in the city. So am I supposed to rent a car to go thrifting?

I am beginning to think my clients really hear me when I ask for work on my blog. So I say, enough now! Come back in a day or ten! I got such a lovely email this afternoon: "Hello Eliane. My name is XXX and I am a student in OCAD and I was assigned a project; to create a showcase poster for a local designer, and I thought I'd do the poster on you! I love your distinct style, especially the rosy cheeks. So if you allow me to use one of your art work (the art work I added), that would be great!" Now how can I refuse that, no one has ever wanted to design a poster for me, and on top of that she goes to the same art school as my own daughter!

I wish all my clients would read my blog and act so promptly when I mention I need work. In a newspaper near you, this Saturday. If you think he doesn't look too happy, you're right, he's supposed to be suffering from self hatred. And cheap shampoo. Two things alien to me.
