Greetings! Okay so here is the source of the 'bitter' part of the 'sweet. bitter. tart.' blog name (I'm not that bitter really, but if I were, it would be about this). About 10 years ago I had what I thought was a super awesome idea for a story about a mouse who was a chef. I know! He lived in the French countryside and was summoned to Paris by a magnate renegade lemming to cater his annual Cheese Ball. A mouse who cooks in Paris!? Gee, that's a really good idea...oh...enter that whole Ratatouille thing (and insert the sound of a dream dying).
There was also a museum curator cat, and an artist spider who was born without the ability to spin webs, so navigated through his spider life via a series of complicated ropes and pulleys. So if Disney releases a spider movie about a spider who was born without the ability to spin webs, but navigates his way through his spider life via a series of complicated ropes and pulleys I'm going to throw myself off a cliff. Just saying. Anyhoo, here was My Story through some of the pictures.

The End. :)
I wanna go to the Cheese Ball. I own my own tux. Will that help? I still can't figure out how to tie my bow tie though.
ReplyDeleteDid the spider cut off his spinnerets 'cause of the unrequited love for a Black Widow of the evening?
You are amazing.
Hi there
ReplyDeleteI came across your lovely blog which I am now following - great drawings! - and thought you might like to take a peek at mine. I live in the French Alps and write about food and renovating our old watermill. Would you be interested in exchanging links?

Oh I love your drawings! definitely a great story, maybe you can come up with a new one that you could sell to Disney or Dreamworks. I have a friend who works there.
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet! You can't imagine how much this means to me, especially coming from you - your blog amazes me every day (especially since I manage to post something, you know, quarterly) - and every one of your entries is sort of off-the-charts crazy beautiful and talented. I can't thank you enough for the kind feedback. :)
ReplyDeleteOkay so I do have a new story in mind about a girl carousel horse who's fabulous but trapped on the merry-go-round pole (I know, right?) but breaks free and becomes a real and happy horse in the wild with no adornment or makeup or hoo ha whatsoever. Not that I can relate to this at all. But still. It's germinating. :)
i love your illustrations!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sherri!!! I'm looking forward to checking out your blog! : )
