Art or Toast?
Doesn’t it get you down sometimes — bills, phone calls, business, legal mumbo-jumbo, everyday get-under-your-skin, little pesky stuff? I’m about ready to punt the business of art, and just make some ART!
or toast, whatever comes first.
Can’t help myself, but everytime I finally get a drawing ready and it starts to come out of the printer, I get a thrill seeing it big for the first time! I cooked up this idea on the way home from work one day, stuck in a 106 degree traffic jam.
This is the first big thing I’ve tried to print since the ice storm, so it was an unpleasant day of trying to find paper that wasn’t water-damaged, cleaning up the machine, and trying to get a new computer to talk to it. I’m not good at that kind of stuff, so fortunately Russ helped me out. In the end it was worth it.
Traffic jam! Hee, I love it!
PS Love you plotter too. It looks a lot like the one we have at work. So jealous that you have one for yourself.
What a wonderful spin on what can be such a frustrating situation…. It never fails that it happens when we need to be somewhere quickly. Thank you for the smile…..
Thanks for all the encouragement!
Make art! Be happy! That is where I am going, right now.
The drawing is great. Fun idea, great color…can’t wait to see it further along.
Why choose? Make art AND toast!
I have no idea what your damaged paper looks like, but I hope it, too, becomes part of your art. It has quite a story to tell.
I hear you, Pam….the details and necessary jobs of business and life get in the way of art. Creativity is a master that demands constant attention and does not want like waiting in line while computer issues are being resolved.
I think this car/ant piece has a great start – am anxious to see it finished.

I didn’t see cars at first I saw ants! I had to look twice.
Can you tell we’ve been dealing with ants lately? LOL
How about some nice toast? –Do you ever watch Red Dwarf? It’s a campy british science fiction tv series. There’s a smart mouth toaster in a few episodes.
