It’s Not What You Think
Nope, that’s not me. I wish. No new news on the pregnancy watch here at Ponnay and Ponnay. But wouldn’t it be great if I jinxed myself and got pregnant now and I had morning sickness every day while I was in Paris? Well, it wouldn’t be cool but it would totally be worth it.
Anyway the prego lady is just a little something something I’m working on for a client. I hope she picks this concept because it’s very fun to illustrate. We’ll see.
Phew! I’ve been busy. Busy is good. Toby just informed me that he expects me to make XX a year or go back to work. XX is a ton more than I’m making!! XX is a ton more than I used to make when I was working! Here I am knocking on wood and thinking I’ve finally found my groove in life and then reality sets in.
It’s not that Toby expects a lot of me, it’s just that everything got so dang expensive! I guess in my mind I’m still thinking I’m in 1990 or something. I’m thinking I can buy a house and make $2000 a month payments. I mean, yeah I could make $2000 a month payments on a five story mansion in… Utah! But not here in Newport Beach. Reality is harsh.

Illustration Friday: Crowded
The Anti Illustration Friday: not Crowded
I’m rebelling. The word for Illustration Friday is “crowded” this week. But in honor of the most beautiful beach day ever, I am illustrating it NOT crowded. Because that’s what I’m hoping for. I’m hoping it’s just me and the sun and the sand when I get myself down there tomorrow. (Also because I started on this late and I don’t really have time to draw in all the other people. What’s with the new illustration Friday not being on Friday anymore!). So I’m not participating this week. Sigh…
I didn’t make it down to the beach today because I thought I had a deadline. I sweated away in the house while the butterflies mocked me in the warm breezes outside. (Have you seen the butterflies lately? They’re out in swarms!) Then later I found out I didn’t have a deadline so all that sweating and stressing was in vain! I hate it when that happens.
It’s days like this that are the reason I became my own boss. So what kind of boss am I if I make myself stay inside and work for no reason? To make things right, I’m declaring tomorrow (which is probably today when you are reading this) an official beach day. Whatever can’t be done on an official beach day can be done late late at night or on another day when it’s foggy and crappy.
Please let it not be foggy and crappy tomorrow!
I was also thinking of illustrating myself when I was eight and I had too many teeth in my mouth because my baby teeth never fell out. My nickname was “snaggle tooth”. Now that would have been a good entry for “crowded”. Maybe my mom has a photo I can post later.
