i only wanted to grow up

Jumbled by Lena

when i was little, all i dreamed about was to grow up to be one of these 4 things: a cat, a mother, an artist, or shirley manson.

i was kind of strange.

pardon the coffee stain- it was a long day at the office

I dreamed a Dream a Childhood dream... and it came true

Jumbled by Elgin Subwaysurfer Bolling

From the time Ive been five years old i always wanted to be a professional artist.I drew when I was happy, I drew when I was sad, I drew when I was bored, I never seemed to stop drawing, it was like eating , sleeping and breathing, and it's the same way today, so many years later.

I won a slew of awards in kindergarten and in first grade, when i was eight years old, i was approached by an author, Mary Anne Gross, and drew the cover of a book entitled, "Mother, These Are My Friends" . I recieved Financial Royalties for that book everytime itsold and if was just one of the many positive experiences that gave me the confidnce to pursue art as a career.

As a child, It made be feel good to have such a positive effect on people. Ordinarily if you can Do something that others cannot, theres a lot of jealousy involved. Ive found with art and drawing, that wasnt the case. People who couldnt draw seemed to enjoy watching ME do something as much as I did. I made friendships, and even kept bollies off of me. "dont bother HIM he drew me a picture once, " they'd say. It amsxes me that I am blessed enough to get paid for something that Ive done since childhood, and would still do if i wasnt paid a dime.

My job has murdered my art

Jumbled by Lena

for the time being, this is the best i can do :( (i practically sleep under my desk)
its hard to make out because the scanner hates blue pencil, but its me, sitting legs-crossed in my cube, being destroyed by my cup of coffee (coworkers have a habit of throwing things over my wall and managed to get it in my cup once)

i really want to finish this... *sigh*.. back to work

EDIT:

sooo printed on the garbage B&W printer and outlined. still wanna finish this but.. totally not gonna happen in time.

Everybody Dance Now!

Jumbled by Unknown

Well, usually I like to do a new piece specifically for the topics here.
But I just didn't have time this week.
So, here's one I did recently that fits the bill.

Dance!

Jumbled by Anonymous

I picked tango because I always liked this dance: it's full of sensuality, erotism and grace, there is a kind of magic in this. But I would have liked to have more time to make a better illustration about this. Carole
