BOUNDLESS BAZAAR: art while u wait!

I worked both Saturday and Sunday at the bazaar, shilling my wares but mostly enjoying the fine beach-like weather and people-watching.  At some point on Saturday I had a gentleman tell me "If this [photo mat] had a VW bus on it, it'd be sold."  Coincidentally, I just so happen to have a sketch of a VW bus. . . which (on Sunday) I added to two blank photo mats right there at the bazaar:

On the Road (Shenandoah Valley).  Sold the same day, WOOT!

A blurry On the Road (Southwest)

I'll repost with better shots later--totally running on adrenaline at this point (note the dry, rambling writing, it's a dead give-away).  I also had three requests for a beach themed version.  I smell a series . . .

AND I fielded a few other requests for/was inspired to create image themes such as apples, puppies, drive-in movie, and cupcakes.  And later: more Winchester themes, Patsy Cline, and German themed images.  It was a banner day for my right brain.

But wait, there's more!

Several weeks ago I had taken a casual request for a cartoon-style snail illustration in the same manner as my Charley and Kittens mats.  The illustration has been drafted and ready to roll for a couple of weeks, but my brain has refused to cooperate when it came to applying the image to the mat board; it just didn't want to do it, and instead kept wanting to do this over-the-top eye-popping color with flowers . . . which is how Garden Buffet came about.  Now that that image is out of my system, this morning (Sunday) I went back to the original snail cartoon and inked that tout de suite.  Sold the same day!

I'll work all these up into official templates and redo the mats, take official photos, etc., and repost each with it's own official blog thing.  Officially.  Until then, however, it's Miller Time with my jammies and sock monkey slippers. . .
