There is a downside to being so busy preparing my Delicious Paint class
while working away on paid illustration jobs like a mad woman
don't get me wrong...it is all great fun actually... and they pay me to have this fun
so life is pretty awesome sauce
but there is a downside, as small as it may be
and that is I haven't had time to sketch up my solar queen's new companion until now
good old QE 2 has finally a man in her life... a king to her queen which seems appropriate
and seeing her serenely waving away on the window sill
while he is all hip shaking and microphone waving is quite the thing
The only thing that could make me happier is if he had a knee that shook
and had a motion activated voice that said thank you very much every time you walked past
that would be amazing right
but he is a welcome addition to our growing solar family
which also includes a solar santa, and the picorgi... remember him?
An added bonus is that it is a constant reminder to Sinus to go and get a haircut
you see he has this hair that grows like a forest on steroids
but weirdly there is a puff of hair at the front that always grows quicker than the rest
so out of nowhere you wake up one day and it is all foofy at the front
and until he gets to the barber Sinus is absent and Elvis takes his place
which of course leads to much hilarity every time it foofs
because we get to do Elvis impressions whenever he enters the room
not to mention some off key singing
and more thank you very much-ing than you can poke a microphone at
all of which he hates
so of course that only makes us love it that much more
which is starting to make me think that having our new solar toy around might be a negative
if Solar Elvis reminds Sinus to get more regular haircuts
then I don't get to do my fabulous impressions and singing
and I firmly believe that it is that sort of teasing that keeps a marriage strong
nothing says I love you like a good Elvis impression
bloody QE2 had better appreciate the sacrifices I am making
happy painting all...xx
