Tales of humour, whimsy and courgettes
Grey Moon – Thursday (ep. 50)
“I remember working for an advertising agency for claustrophobic folk,” said Yuffie.
“You what?” asked Reala.
“Oh yes, a whole building full of claustrophobic people creating new advertising campaigns,” replied Yuffie.
“Where they any good?” asked Fuen.
“Well,” said Yuffie, “they were more productive when thinking outside of the box…”
A teensy bit of market research if you please. This week I am re-filling my Etsy store, but I have a quandary. On Etsy, you can upload five or more images of a product. So the first image is the one that sells the product, then the others are different frame colours and close-ups of the paper. My debate is which do I use for a storefront ‘sales’ image.
A wee question to you good folk. Which one of the below images would do a better job of selling you an art piece?
The moody dark Threadless image.
The light and airy Etsy frame image.
If you can spare me a moment of your time, let me know in comments.
Cheers!

Edited to add: To clarify, I am only selling the art print, not a frame or coat hanger. (Thanks, Marge!)
“What now Stephi?” asked Chris.
“We create new life,” replied Stephi.
She forced him onto his back, he laughed. She leant over him, her face close to his.
“Good start,” grinned Chris.
Stephi’s face began melting, oozing onto Chris’ face. Finding his nostrils, covering his eyes, filling his mouth.
Holy crud-muffins we are nearly into March!
The eponymous dame returns as the lead lady for this weeks #Colour_Collective. Some link dropping here. You can see the original doodle of Screech in this post and I have a course on how to turn simple doodles into digital graphics assets, here.
My Etsy store has re-opened. I haven’t sorted out an on-site shop yet, it’s on the to-do list. As you know, slightly strapped for cash right now so I have spent a few days this week doing in-house work for companies I used to work for and doing a fair bit of job hunting. Have a nosey at my currently, sparse but growing, Etsy store.

“I was hired as a party planner,” said Saturn.
“Oh, that must have been fun,” said Reala.
“It was quite,” replied Saturn. “One time I had to organise a party in space.”
“Blimey,” said Reala. “How did you pull that off?”
“Ah,” said Saturn, “I had to planet…”
“I got fired from a few jobs,” laughed Yuffie.
“Oh god, me too,” replied Reala.
“Years ago, I got fired from a calendar factory,” moaned Yuffie.
Fuen and Reala raised an eyebrow.
“All I did was take a day off,” sighed Yuffie.
“I worked at a British biscuit factory,” said Reala. “The boss called me a dozy once!”
“Bet that naffed you off,” said Saturn.
“I was ruddy livid,” said Reala. “I was so angry I threw a biscuit at her.”
“Did you hit her?” asked Fuen.
“She ducked and I missed,” sighed Reala.
Yuffie laughed. “Jammy Dodger…”
Capricorn (ep. 72)
The tentacles pulled her closer. Skin pierced. Push down, fluid moving.
“Shuheretar,” uttered the beast.
“Whatever you say, mate,” she replied, kicking at its face.
Six rows of teeth came down on her ankle. She screamed. Her other leg was sucked deep inside the beasts mouth.
She knew what came next. But she wondered if the beast knew she had 500mls of poison coursing through her veins.
It’s been a while!
#Colour_Collective has returned to Twitter and the Fears are here for it! This week the colour is Boto Pink and conveniently, this week’s Scribblers Cove theme is flowers. Two birds with one doodle right there!
My art prints will return to the site this coming week and just look at that paper! My word is that canvas texture sexy. Something I haven’t sold for a long time. The prints are sized UK A4 and will cost £12 each (£3 shipping to the USA). I’ll have a shop page finished this weekend. If there’s an item you’ve seen doodled before or that’s on my Threadless store and you want to buy the canvas print version, please do let me know. I’ll make it a priority for the shop. Also. LOOK AT THAT TEXTURE!
Mmmmm, forbidden texture… Drools

“I had a bad interview with a publisher once,” sighed Reala.
“What went wrong?” asked Yuffie.
“The interviewer kept asking me to spell ‘part a’ backwards,” replied Reala.
“Ah,” nodded Saturn. “It’s a trap.”
