Balvenie Scotch

December 13th, 2009

I’m part of a big national campaign for Balvenie Scotch.
Did 3 gigs for them in less than 2 weeks.
While waiting for the first event to start, I played around with the bottle:

Whew - I’m busy. It’s all good. It’s all wonderful.
Like, like yesterday - First I did face-painting for a woman who’s hired me 5 times already. And while I was at her Little Chefs party, one of the guests asked if I remembered working at that guest’s party - You remember - Caricaturing on the balls…. “Yes! That was the only time anyone had ever asked me to Caricature on balls. I remember being outside by the swingset….” And other one of the guests asked if I remembered working at another guest’s party too…. Then, in the evening, working at a liquor store for Balvenie Scotch, one of the customers was excited to see me - “I still have that Caricature you drew of me at the party on Wall Street….” Me: “Yes! I remember that party - I was in the middle of the room - Really drawing wildly that day….” And another customer: “You drew at my party - Remember….
I touch so many lives
under such good circumstances.
I’m so happy.

Unsung Heroes

November 26th, 2009

i was just telling my Brother that he was going to get his Birthday gift late this year - because I had bought an adorable card that said: “I blame it on brainfreeze - Happy belated birthday”

Then we got to talking - Our Mother used to keep a box of cards - so they’d be available whenever needed. But there was one in the box that never got used - was she waiting for something Real Special? I had thought the card was just the best thing ever. I tried to scribble out what I remembered of it. Got the idea, but the original was even better.

Who could have drawn that card? Who drew the card I currently bought? Who are the unsung heroes who enrich our lives with such wonderful visions?

Thank you all. Thank you world. It’s a good life.
