Whiner Namowal: My headache's back.
Stop That Namowal: You know where the Advil is.
Whiner Namowal: It's like someone stuck a carpet tack on the right side of my head!
Stop That Namowal: Oh please. On a pain scale of one to ten this is a one.
Whiner Namowal: but... but... it's been bothering me for more than a week.
Stop That Namowal: Better start writing that tear-jerking autobiography. Ouch, My Head: Whiner Namowal's Ten Day Journey with a Slightly Annoying Headache. That should get you booked on all the talk shows. Don't forget to mention those hangnails, paper cuts and acne.
Your tete a tete (add your own diacritics, please) illustration is wonderful! I wish you could have seen Avant Duck. Run yourself a google on the collection/show and I truly truly believe 1. you'll be happy you did and 2. you will not smack me for wasting your time.
ReplyDeleteFound it!
ReplyDeleteI like Ceci n'est pas une canard the best!
Years ago I did a rubber duck spoof on the old Tournée du Chat Noir poster, but the Avent Ducks are better.
Reach for the advil now! It's a beautiful illustration, don't know how you can do something so lush while feeling so poorly.
ReplyDeleteI don't think a headache that's been bothering you for a week qualifies as a whine-able. (I would take it more seriously.) Take care of yourself, Namowal.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sally,
ReplyDeleteThat's Painter's "Impressionist" brush (adjusted by me to add more color variation) you're looking at. I think it added some zing.
Linda,
Don't worry, I'll see a doctor if it doesn't go away. :)
I'm worried about your headache, too. Is it a migraine? Hope you feel better! Beautiful illustration.
ReplyDeleteHi Stray g.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your concern.
I don't think it's a migraine- it's not that painful. I'm going to see a doctor this morning (there's a walk in place nearby) just in case. It's probably no big deal. :)
