Wouldn't it be fun, Wouldn't it be fun, I asked myself to redraw that woman who's holding up the first Caricature in the post I posted in yesterday's Stony Brook post. That expression that she made.....

It had just taken a moment to press the button. I had been spellbound - watching a movie - "The Day After Tomorrow". Didn't want to stay up all night just watching movies, but I was still in shock when I pressed the button to pause the movie. Til tomorrow.

But what should I be doing instead? Having been so wrapped up in the movie, I couldn't think. So I just pressed any buttons on the Computer - ended up at my own website. And, well, I guess it would be fun to redraw......

So that's what I did. Another unnecessary picture. But I'm lucky. It could be maturely accepted as 'not wasting time' - because I have to 'stay in shape' for my career.

I worked some excellent Parties this week. This one, for instance, I really liked the people. How the man greeted me while shoveling the walk.... How the woman asked me to stay overtime - first one extra hour, then another half-hour - because they were so pleased with what I was doing. How their party started off slowly, then people started to really have Fun - laughing, wildly, throwing a big soft ball around....

And through it all, I even liked the pictures I drew. Here are some of them. They are my current-Party-Style-pictures:

I'm tickled pink because I'm hired by Stony Brook University several times each year. It makes me feel like I've Arrived. Because I used to be an undergraduate student there. I got my Teaching degree from Stony Brook University. Dormed at "Stage XII".

The University contacted me professionally - they had no idea that I was 'one of them' before they found out about my Artwork. But when I go back there, it's always an emotional trip - trying to remember who I was back then, wondering if I'm 'one of them', the students who come to get drawn. The College experience - seems so important - but it's such a short time in our lives. What does it all mean???

Here are some of the pictures that I drew this year at 'Sports Night':

Guess what movie I watched tonight. Mindlessly drawing pics while watching a movie. What else would a person do when she finally gets some downtime?

It was The Bone Collector. I drew rough ideas of Angelina Jolie and Denzel Washington:
