Kevin pointed out last night that it's only a month and some change to Midwest Furfest. Apparently this flipped some weird inspiration switch in my head, because until about 2 AM, I was turning on the light every few minutes and scribbling thumbnail sketches.  This is MUCH BETTER than "Oh god, I have no idea what to paint, oh god" but harder on

HE carries a pencil and paper for you? Where's your purse!! D:

[ladywind]

~puts up a hand~ Can't speak for Ursula, but my purse was in a Hardee's in Illinois and I was in TN, last time I carried one. Been wallets and pockets ever since; they're harder to walk away without.

[kwsapphire]

The stuff I carry in my purse won't fit in pockets. You'd have to have an outfit that was nothing but pockets.

Garmin, iPod, & Phone, with all USB cables, AC and car adapters, and ear-phones where applicable, glasses case, small notebook with pen for tracking my food (fitness journal), gum, wallet, moisturizer, business cards, check book, flashlight, pain killers, scrunchies, lip-balm, hair brush, work-badge, watch..

Yeah, definitely not all going in pockets. (It would help if I had ONE piece of electronic equipment instead of THREE, but oh well.)

~nods~ You've a point there. I've stripped my kit down to keys, cellphone, little notebook, and wallet full of ID, plastic, and dustbunnies. Pen clips onto the collar of my shirt. If more than that were required, my method would choke. :)

(and now I'm going to spend the rest of the day daydreaming about an outfit covered in pockets...)

Ah yes. The midnight inspirational bits are good. I miss those. :)

Good for Kevin. I agree you can either live with an artist or you can't. Luckily I married someone who happily mans tables selling happy animals and doesn't get offended if he comes home in the middle of me painting and all he gets is a muttered something about painting and a wave. I will wake up in the middle of the night too but my husband sleeps like the dead so I could in theory draw on him and he wouldn't know. Good luck with everything I love your donkeys you have been doing lately :)

[derakon]

"In theory"? You mean you haven't tested this yet?

[thephoenixx]

I know I should but if I do I am holding you totally responsible for the aftermath ;)

Shame on you if you didn't get the model release form as part of the pre-nup....

I always have pen and paper (and, well, several other things) with me. As I work with words, in extreme circumstances when the pen is dead and no one around has one I've called my own voicemail and left myself a message.

[irishelflinwe]

Oh, I'll have to try that one! I usually go "Brain, store that somewhere!" and hope it stores it where I can find it again. :D

[badger]

You're welcome. I don't remember the last time I didn't have my cellphone with me when I happened to not have pen and paper, so it works for me.

echidna penises?
I'm far more curious than I probably should be.

...we have an anatomy professor here who specialises in mammalian male genitalia (no kidding!), do I dare ask him? It's probably a better option than googling it.

[ursulav]

They have four heads!

I am now morbidly horrified yet may need to see you do this at one of Duncan's parties...

Then I may need to drown the mentally seared image in our host's good scotch...

I'm not sure what this says about me.

[abb3w]

You feel a stupid need to justify mooching someone else's Good Scotch.
