The Bright Spot of My Day

Today was one of those days.  Well it was Monday.  So it started off bad by default.


It was dreary.  I didn't get enough sleep.  It was Monday.  


Oh yeah.  I said that already.


By the end of the day, I was ready to go home.  But no.  There was still grocery shopping, a department store, and a drugstore to get to.


I canceled dinner plans.


I was in no mood.


I was the walking dead.   


Finally, home sweet home.  I was uber eager to say 'Goodbye day! Hello bed!'


I did the ritual of stopping by my mailbox before parking in front of my pad.  


Junk mail.  


Bills.  


Pre-approved credit notifications.


 . . . wait a minute.


What's this unusual brown flat square thingy?  Is it a dvd?  A cd?   . . . 


No!


IT'S SO MUCH BETTER!


It's a surprise package from the one and only "supremely skilled southpaw" Kristilyn , owner, creator and master genius of Zombie Romance!!!


Suddenly I'm ripping the package apart and hear myself gasp in utterly awed appreciation of the contents:

(WARNING:  NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH)

This would be an adorable Doodle Diva inspired Zombie Diva as only uber talented Kristilyn can imagine and create.  


Isn't it disturbing?


Isn't it twisted?


Isn't it just the cutest thing you ever did see?!!


I love this girl's creations.  And mark my words:  I predict Kristilyn's Zombie Romance is going to be a very, Very, VERY big deal sooner than later.

A little note from my fellow Southpaw

Too adorable.  Check out those eyelashes and the adorableness of these little fawns. Meanwhile, their fearless leader is wearing a skeleton.  I love the way the stark contrast just coincide like business as usual.

Meanwhile, her surprise got me my second wind.  Suddenly, Monday doesn't seem bad at all.  I have a Zombie Romance original inspired by Doodle Divas.


WHAT?!


And it tickles me to know that while my girls are positioning themselves to take over the world one walk-in closet at a time, Zombie Romance's gals are taking over the world as well . . . 


 . . . one brain at a time!   :-)



                 












Buy t-shirts, mugs & gifts from my shop.

Denied! Denied! APPROVED!!!

One thing for sure I've learned and am learning:  What I like and what the customer like can be COMPLETELY different!

And that's OK!

I had the honor of being selected as a featured artist for the Fall 2011 East of Asheville Studio Tour.  As I recall NOW, the designer requested something like this:

' . . . one of your divas faces will be shown in the rear view mirror of a car she's driving to/from the studio tour.  It should show her signature sunglasses, red lips and hair swoop . . . '

Easy right?

Nope.

Turns out I suffer from 'hear-what-want-to-hear-itis'.  And I truly don't mean to.  Plus it was so difficult to wrap my brain around anything beyond the image between my two ears.

So I came up with this:

Denied.

There's not a single thing rear view about this.  Duh!

So I tried this:  

Denied!  It looks like a creepy lady in the back seat is about to scare the beegeezus out of the driver.  Plus, where are the lips?  And is that mirror image right?

So I tried this:

APPROVED!  :-)

Funny how things work out when I get out of my own way!
