I think I might be typing this from beyond the grave. Today I:
- Woke up, evaluated condition
- Realized I was, possibly, even more sick than yesterday [ sweet!]
- Found a way to cope by slumping over a desk, refusing to speak, and drawing from 9am to 2pm
- Made the best garlic mashed potatoes I’ve ever made. Coincidentally, the first time I ever made garlic mashed potatoes.
- Retreated back to bed, where we watched Inglorious Basterds
That’s all I got. Except this – a sneaky peek at the commission I managed to start and finish today. The client asked me to draw a figure reminiscent of a blend between Neil Gaiman’s Death and Delirium. Could any request have been more appropriate, considering my present state? Probably not. I’ll post the entire thing once she’s safely in his hands.
And also this – what appears to be the only photo of me with Josh, Ales and Kevin from Bats and Cats Masquerade, courtesy of Amy.
Because it’s funny and you know it.
SLUMP.
Always,

I watched Inglorious Basterds for the first time before bed last night. What a fun movie. Great drawing as usual, hope you start feeling better soon.
can’t wait to see the full drawing
i been feeling like crap these days too
hope you feel better
Supersick. Can’t wait to see the whole thing.
your ink work is IMPECCABLE!
get well soon xo
you always draw cute tits and cooters; and i mean that in the most appropriate way possible
When I had the awful H1N1 I got better with a combination of swallowing raw garlic and drinking kombucha. (http://synergydrinks.com) Also if there is a Chinese herb shop anywhere down there you should check it out. The lady at the one down the street from me always has something cheap and easy that makes me feel a million times better!
By the way, how much do you charge for commissions? I may ask you to do a portrait of me. I need a more creative image of myself for my website, and I don’t feel that I photograph well.
I can’t wait to see the finished product. From what is shown here you managed a fantastic job even while being sick. ~smirks~ I did not quite realize the appropriateness of my request. Probably a good thing Despair and Destruction were not suggested.
Do get better soon! I’m sure you’re getting remedies and advice left and right…all that worked for me was rest. Lots and lots of rest. Mummy like rest :P
The commission is coming along quite nice from that detail alone. My hats off…all I can do when sick is write hallucinatory emails to people.
Received the final product and it is quite excellent. I hope she posts it soon.

Zo, I’m sure you get this kind of question an awful lot, but I was really struck by your eyeglasses. I’m in the market and would love a suggestion (I live in L.A.). I also concur with the cute tits and cooters comment.
