Mine's so neglected it must be in a semi-comatose state.
Tomorrow I have to set up my first selected group show:
As I've mentioned before I've never done this before and have no idea what to expect. I've also illustrated about 8 of my pieces in the last two weeks, so it's been hectic. But instead of having a relaxing day, pottering around and making sure everything's ready to go tomorrow, I agreed to walk 10km as part of the Melbourne Marathon with my best friend.
I know 10km doesn't seem like a big deal, but let me paint the picture for you.
I'm about 30kg overweight, my idea of exercise is walking from the couch to the fridge and, no, I didn't do any preparation for this feat of endurance. Nor did I wear in my new sneakers before stepping across the start line. (Sensible? Are you listening?)
I also have no idea of distance so I figured I'd jog through the MCG for the final '400m' - hang about - what do you mean that's a jog around half the footy ground?
Everything hurts. I may need a new hip.
And tomorrow I'll be lugging 11 new illustrations in their heavy, heavy frames across the city and (I imagine) hopping up and down a ladder to install them.
Did I mention everything hurts.
Where, oh where did my sensible go?
Never again.

Poor you! It's quite tragic when our sensible deserts us...mine's been known to go walkabout on occasion too ;)
Congrats on your show...your work is wonderful >^.^<
How funny... I love that ad. Yes, that is a massive walk. Good on you! (Thanks for prompting me that I have to get out more often)
Ouch! DOn't ya know you have to work up to that. I remember juging to the end of the street to prepare for the army. I felt like I was going to die! three years in the army ( they jog 4 miles everyday!) I was in much better shape, now 10 years later.. Im'm a sloth again. lol Hurray for Civilian life! Love your drawings BTW wonderful!
that whole sensible thing freaks me out.
I think the add is super cute!
Congrats on the 10km walk! Next you'll be doing the 10,000 stairs in the Ranges.
Just completed my final piece just then and am really excited about hanging a show with girls for a change.

Good on you for participating! Your works look great - hope you sell them all for your "I need a new hip fund". :-)

Haha you definitely should have drunk a little more juice before agreeing to walk a marathon. Yikes. Don't envy you even the tiniest bit ;)
Can't wait to see pics of all our work at the show. Have a good night xxx
