Bat Radar

Spotted 2

The bats are back! It seems a little early - usually they're not here until May.

I'm still unable to get Dan to agree to put a Bat house on our house. He somehow thinks they will gnaw thru the siding and get in...fly around the bedroom at night...get tangled up in our hair...repopulate out of control...I don't know... all he said was he really didn't want it on the house.

I kind of don't either because it's a little unsightly. Having a bat house is just one of those fleeting playtime thoughts I keep having.

Illustration Friday

Fortunes

ForIllustration Friday it's a spotted week.

Here we've got a couple of interpretations...

It could be a fortune teller spotting significant points in your life or...

A fortune scammer spotted!

Go ahead and tell me what you think...even though I already know...or do I?

Illustration Friday

Dye your hair
Illustration Friday: Speed - life in the fast lane.

This is truely inspired by misconception of song lyrics. Don't ya just hate it when you really like a song and want to sing along but don't know the words...or you think you know the words but not really? In this case I reject reality and substitute my own.

And I think this is the post that has pushed me over the edge about this whole scanner business. If it weren't 6:00 a.m. I'd be at Best Buy.

Sir Walter

Sir Walter

A while back I had bought some ephemera books and of course used all the cute pictures first. So now I have all these odds and ends that I'm challenging myself to use.
What I think is odd in a funny way is that at the bottom of the can it says 'sooner or later, your favorite tobacco'

Truth in advertising without a doubt.

Illustration Friday

Spooked

This card was a complete accident.

I had the jack in the box glued to the red paper and I just kept looking at it not knowing what to do. I knew I wanted to use it for Illustration Friday but it just wasn't going anywhere. I decided to call it 'spooked'- being that I do not like jack in the boxes -*stupid, creepy clowns*:(

Well, after I wrote 'spooked' it really reminded me of the carnival. Especially the carnival in "Something Wicked, this Way Comes" and there you have it.

Enjoy...
