I could really use a cup of coffee now… I feel like such a zombie. Need caffeine.

I’ll trade ya…

I’m not much of a writer. If you look at Penguin’s posts, you’ll find that his ideas flow in an orderly fashion and make sense. I, on the other hand, kind of feel like a poster child for ADHD. That’s why my posts are usually pretty short and have pictures. =)

Being that I’m also a bit shy, I haven’t contributed any stories or commented on the Daily Monster. Oh, I would visit the monsters and admire from a far; they were the highlight of many a long work day. When Stefan posted his open source ink blots, I jumped on it. This was something I could get into! Well, one fine day, Stefan emailed me asking about my illustrations. Wanting to see more, he said he had googled me and found nothing, except some websites about a competitive Canadian swimmer who shared the same name. I couldn’t believe it…one my heroes was actually looking for my stuff! Needless to say, it totally rocked my world!!! I think I did a lil’ happy dance when I got that email, too, haha.

Anywho, I showed him my coffee paintings from the post below, and I’m absolutely thrilled to learn that he digs them. =D So much so that we’re going to do an original art swap. I’m going to send him Tom (the last painting of the series), and he’s going to send me a new inky friend. I can’t wait!!!

Getting ready to send Tom to Stefan

It’s funny, I actually forgot about these until recently…

I don’t think I’ve shown these to anyone, save a few close friends and some other lovely folks. Well, here are my coffee portraits of my former coworkers for your viewing pleasure. Who knew leftover coffee could be so fun? ;)
