April 10, 2008 : Illustration Friday – Save

{click for a larger image} 04/10/08. This funk is starting to really piss me off. The more uncreative I feel the madder I get and is just gets worse everyday. I figured I would go and make some drastic changes in my life hoping that would help. I even went and cut off most of my hair and while I LOVE my hair – it did not help. (For people that dont know before this I really have not had a ‘real’ haircut since 3rd grade {I am 30 now} I have had it trimmed and such, but I went and got a good 10″ removed – so for me this was HUGE!) I am even redoing my website hoping this will help. ARGGGG – so frustrating.

So I did start this piece based on the Illustration Friday theme of “save” last Friday and it took me this long to finish it. I was always a saver – I would hoard any money I would get growing up , though I had a happy face bank. I never would spend money on little things, I would always save up for something BIG. I was a freakishly responsible kid. Still now I can’t spend more than $5 on a whim – I over analize almost every purchase.

8″x 8″ :: $200 framed original piece. Email for availability and payment directions or for more information – like larger and more detailed images.

As a sidenote: Next weekend is the Hyattsville Arts Festival and I will be making all the one-a-(week)day pieces available for sale. So if you have you eye on something, let me know!

Also – let me know what piece you would like to see on my next postcard. (maybe I’ll even send you one!)
