well i wonder

Tubes of stuff (click on image to enlarge).

It's when you find yourself drawing hemorrhoid cream that you know that you need to ask yourself some questions. What am I doing with my life? Is this normal behaviour? How did it come to this?

  1. Oh wow! Andrea! You've been busy! This couldn't be one of the things you weren't satisfied with! This is incredible. Love love the notes (got a bit of a neck crinkle turning every which way to read them). Are you sure so many of them aren't yours :~)
    Fabulous job. Wow, again!

    Hahaha! Oh my, Andrea, this one kills me! I was literally glued (ha!) to the screen, reading it sideways, flipping it, using the largest view on Flickr -- for a good ten minutes!
    Did you throw any of the expired ones??!!
    Effin' brilliant, Andrea.

  14. Hm, garlic in a tube? I never used it, is it any good?

  15. Cheers guys!

    Kathleen, they are definately not all mine - especially the germaloids!
    France, I did throw them away - unlike all the out of date spice jars which I kept for further drawing material.
    Sherry, it's a pilot G-Tec pen, brown.
    Lyn, I worked on this for a two evenings - a couple of hours each evening. This actually was one of my quicker drawings!
    Nina, nah! Don't bother with garlic in a tube, the real thing's much better!

    Thanks everybody for the lovely and funny comments. I really enjoyed reading them. Cheers!

  19. Popping over here from Cestandrea's blog... WOW! I'm impressed, amazed at your patience and a wee bit jealous ;-)

    Such a joy to discover this blog. (oh, I joined EDM recently so may bump into you over there, once I get my bearings...)

    Gosh ... wow!

  20. .. no, via Cestandrea to Fabulous Threads to you. Isn't blogging a network of great artists!

  21. What a hoot!!! Your words crack me up on the fabulous drawing!

  22. Thanks folks!

    Elizabeth, I agree. I think Suzanne said, recently, whoever would have thought that this medium would be so great for the artistic spirit? How true. It's very easy to spend hours skipping from blog to blog, isn't it? And just whe you think you've seen every great blog there is to see up pops another. I LOVE it!

    Cheers.
