A Commission Card Holiday Card

Not a very pleasant few days.  Some of the side effects of prednisone are manic beavior, insomnia, euphorpia.  I've had everything but euphoria.  I could do with a little of that right now.

Here's the first of the holiday commisions.  It will be postcards, cards and magnets.

Happy Halloween

I know - it's a little early.  Here's my holiday card.  Violet's the one without shoes.  She likes her toes to wiggle.

And there's a recipe on the back:

Eye of newt, and toe of frog, 
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, 
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting, 
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,— 
For a charm of powerful trouble, 
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble. 

Billy Shakespeare.

I was never fond of that recipe.  He forgot the chocolate.

A Busy 2 Weeks

Let's see:

1. Important project at work going well
2. 3 custom portrait requests including cards and magnets due by De.1
3. Finished my Halloween postcards
4. Custom Xmas postcards due in Dec.
5. My own holiday cards - Thanksgiving, Hannukah and Xmas
6. Violet bit into another wire which I can't find.  Will find it when the thing it's plugged into stops working.  Into the vet for shots to clear up the burn - steroids, antibiotic and prednisone. $$$$

 

Odds and Ends of Diane's Children

I really like how these came out.  I was sort of channelling Egon Schiele drawing from a Diane Arbus photo.  Certainly not Anne Geddes.

Pooch

He looks like he's got a mustache doesn't he?

 

Gracie(s) and the Devil Cat

This is Gracie, my sweet pea.  Most of the time.

 

Don't give me that look. 
Well you wouldn't need a bath if you didn't tip over that bowl of spaghetti now would you?

 

 

Now really, if you bit into the cable wire and burnt you mouth would you do it again?
Well someone did.
