slow news day
It seems like I’ve got writer’s block. I never get writer’s block but sometimes I think my brain gets stuck on one track and doesn’t want to switch over to the other. (Some tracks, like math and memorizing numbers, it never switches to at all but that’s neither here nor there.) I think I’ve just been working on illustrations so much lately that I just don’t feel like writing.
So here’s a little window into what I’ve been working on. I love these characters. I have the best clients in the world who let me do whatever I want. Strangely, I don’t really have anything else to say.
Maybe that’s a good thing.

vanity, all is vanity
I was going to write a post about how great it is to have a girl. How I love having tea parties and playing fairy princess with her in the park. Something light and fluffy about how we made flower-chain crowns that sent me down memory lane but then I started looking at my photos.
I realized that while I was vainly ogling myself for the perfect self portrait, Baby Bug is wandering off to Starbucks or something. Um, Brenda? That’s a great shot of you hiding your double chin but there could be a bloodthirsty mountain lion hiding over there behind a tree or a kidnapper just waiting to swoop her up. Wake up, Princess Gray Hair, and rescue your child!
You’ll be relieved to know that Baby Bug is safely tucked in bed as I write this. OF COURSE! Or else I wouldn’t be writing it. But still. Maybe I need to work on my vanity a little. My many aunts (who, by the way, are totally the ones who taught me how to make daisy chains!!!!) are shaking their heads right now. I did listen to their many lectures on the subject of vanity, I just didn’t learn much.
