Forgive My Absence....

Sooooo, it's been a while... nine months to be precise!

I have to say, I wasn't very good about continuing this project, I did it for a few days then I got too lazy to scan and then I was working on a lot of commissions, and then, yeah, yeah.... I completely forgot it existed.

But while I was at work today, I realized I forgot my lunch at home. I wept inside, because I love food. Yet, with a bag of potato chips in hand, I sat outside on the patio. Normally I eat lunch during the week with several women from the Education Department of the Museum I work for. I love listening to them talk about their days and their travels as they're all moms and grandmothers. On Sundays however, everyone in the offices is off during the weekend so it's just us store associates and county workers that work over the weekend. This means I generally always eat lunch by myself on Saturday and Sunday, which though always delicious, can get very boring very quickly. Normally my thirty minute lunch period is the fastest thirty minutes of the day but if I'm by myself, I devour my food in under five minutes and have 25 minutes of staring at the lunch room wall.

But not today! Because today I actually remembered to snag a pad of paper and a pen from my desk before going down to the lunch room. So while I ate my Mixed Roots potato chips, I sketched me some pin-up girls!

I've always admired vintage pin-up artists and the girls that poised for the artwork and it's a style I've always said I wanted to work to get better at. So after I sketched these, I realized I really ought to add them up here for this project, so here they are.

So here's my first contribution in a long time to my "Sketched in Seconds" project for the larger "While I Wait" collaboration my roommate started.

So hope you enjoy and forgive my absence! (o^-^)oo(^-^o)

Sorry for the blurring, but it's to cover up the company's logo.
