2 a.m. - I’m emailing pictures to my Power-Point client.
9 a.m. - Ring, ring -
me: Good Morning
client: “fantastic job. listen, because of snowdates, I have another day before the presentation. Can you do another picture?”
me, thinking that I have a 1:30 appointment at the spa, and a 3:30 appointment with my trainer, and I’m on to cook dinner for company tonight….: “Sure. What do you have in mind?”
client: “one face leaning forward on muscular arms……”
My client is UP. Talking faaaast.
Snap snap, so many ideas…… “Good Morning……”
We hang up, I go to wake up, morning routine…..
Luckily I didn’t start the picture yet, when,
Ring, ring - “Hi! What’s up?”
client: “Could we make that a 2-person Caricature? The first guy leaning over a brick wall. He’s in the U.S. - talking to our associate in the U.K - You’d have the Atlantic Ocean in there, and a phone in his hand
…………………
…………………….
…………………….”
then later, middle of the night - I draw the picture first in pencil, then in marker.
While erasing the pencil for this upbeat picture,
I flip on a movie - Ahhhh “Escape From Alcatraz”.
Point, Counterpoint.
Crazy day, Wild night, and I’m just sitting here alone.
It’s a good life:
Update: Aaaahhh, it’s all worth it. Here’s the email that I woke up to today:
“Alison, I want to thank you for an extraordinary job. My presentation went brilliantly and your slides were gut busters. That you so much for your professionalism and talent.”
Me: Smiling
