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

Okay sending you pic of my Elvis that sits on my art table! Lol
So funny! I love your growing collection.
So nice to be busy with things you love, too. :)
Still sick,
your Fargo friend. ;)
How cute! But he could certainly do with some knees. Sounds like a great way to keep busy.
I love solar Elvis!! Of course he would rarely get to shake his solar powered hips over here - I wonder if they do one powered by rain? You reminded me that when wee Brodie one of our westies squats for a pee she has a tendency to keep walking forward at the same time a la Elvis hip wriggle and so everytime she does it either S or I will say 'thank you very much' - ah the hilarity - it never gets old!
Lol, I think there's a reason he can't wriggle his hips. Think of it, one would die in pure laughter, and alongside the queen..... ha ha it would have been an unforgetable sight.
That would really scare a few unknowing by passers if Mr. Elvis spoke. But what a riot it would be. Have a great weekend.
OMG my hubby is an Elvis fan and would LOVE one of these! Rule in our house though is that he doesn't play Elvis songs when I'm home-and I can't play ABBA when he's home-a compromise that keeps us together:):) Great illustration of your toys!
What a delight. Your Elvis is a great addition to the Queen. Love your posts, they always make me smile.
Kate
what a great collection you've got going there!!
Great illustrations. How fun.
What a hoot! I actually went to high school about a mile from Graceland, only it wasn't Graceland then. Elvis and I were contemporaries. Of course, I didn't know of him at that time, only when he became famous.
Solar Elvis, somehow only you and Sinus could come up with that. Thank you very much!!! xox
Such fun illustrations! Can't wait to see what you do for ICAD!
Love your beautiful and fun illustrations! Awesome! :)
Congratulations on being so busy! How great to make a living doing what you love. The rest of the post had me laughing. Great collection!
LOL! Humor is definitely good for a marriage. I love the elvis illustration, by the way!
LOL! Nice illustrations!
I love your Elvis and how cool would it be if he could talk. I wonder if Queenie would be suitably amused. Hilarious post, poor Sinus.
Sorry Tracey...I left a comment yesterday and my tab crashed... blogger is being a beawch too.... rrr...
One can only wonder what character you will collect once your hunk of burnin love gets those nasty unruly nose and ear hairs!! Chin up Sinus...bound to get worse...once you start using the out of date words for things...much like us old people do!!
Hugs Giggles
Love your solar royalty!
OMG, my new favorite word is foofy!!!!
Love the art as always... see you in U-thrive! ♥
this is awesome cute
much love...
Oh, this made my morning here in Finland, put a smile on my face thanks!
How fun! Wonderful illustrations!
Oh Poor Sinus,,,,
Great Elvis!
I wonder did the queen ever really meet him?
You're so funny and talented in both visual art and words! I know someone who would just love one of those Elvis solar light items...
Wonderful illustrations indeed!
Where on earth do you get all these things!? I'm always curious which unique item you will be painting next. Your house must be a thrill to walk through ;-)
This one made me laugh. Thank you!
Where on earth do you find these quirky little things??? Makes me wonder what else can be found around your house! Glad you finally had some time to paint a King for your Queen! And now I've had my 'chuckle fix' for the day ;0)
I love this collection and you painted it. Good going. Blessings, Janet PPF
I don't believe it - you love junk! :))))))))
Funny :D :D :D
