I just can’t stop thinking – could this be a conceptual entry for IMAGINE, such as – you all just go ahead and imagine this without me?!
Well, imagination fails. Lets don’t and say we did. Come back, we will forgive you everything!

You are not confused for this instance Detlef, however a few previous tears would have been nice - like salt with my munchies :) Can indeed imagine synonymity with those who strive for excellence … for I too am a thoroughbred };-}

Thank you Cecilia's art! Kisses to you ... excuse the food around my mouth :)

Thanks Twisselman, they are juicy and filled with much needed goodness };-}

Grr... now the rewrite I've done of the story so far has all gone wrong!!! I didn't IMAGINE having to go all pink and green...

I think maybe you are a relation of Kali... how many arms do you have?

Blogger Anonymous said...

No, you are not here now Merlinprincesse };-}

Agree badly constructed sentences can be confusing. I wouldn't leave without saying goodbye or having an imaginative reason for doing so Andrea - terribly charming :)

Would like to hear the pre-rewriting of your story Caroline, think it would still be relevant ... you are green, it is I who is pink. Arrrghghghg ... I'm pink!!! Don't have four arms and don't dissolute nor destruct ... just do nasty nibbles ... arghghghg my tongue is pink };-}

You are a fascinating subject. You should come to my office for tea some time. I have a lovely comfortable sofa for you to lounge on. We can discuss your artwork, your childhood, your fear of abandonment, these nasty little pathological needs of yours, and whatever else you like! It'll be fun! I'll even take notes.

Anonymous! Your the sunshine to this whole Illustration Friday! Your humor always makes me smile real big!!! Your work always amazes me!!!! You are a piece of work yourself!!!!!! A masterpiece!!! Great manipulation of last weeks image. The choice of colors and just taking us the viewer - down a very imaginative lane. Great Job!!!!! Awesome!

Dearest Anony,

I LOVE the present! Thank you.

btw: I'm pink and the Alien is as green as green as you, but you are green with envyyyyy, envy because Mom liked LDahl best and I grew up to be a ringmistress extrodinaire and you got buried in a stinky litterbox.

btw, again: I agree with everything Detlef said, maybe.

Warmest regards,

No she didn't LDahl! She only said that because you were too sensitive - and always crossed her fingers behind her back then apologised to me later.

Alas you will have to try to find me Jane Doe, too many of you exist. There is also that huge problem you all have of lying and/or being dead already };-}

Mwhahahahaa, thanks Wilnara ... life is an art form I’m genially brilliant at living :)

Vmf4 - HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAA ..... *SPIT* whoops another sweetie I can't swallow };-}

Dearest Mysterious Poodle Circus,
Thought you would LOVE present under your tree since been begging for the item for more than a dog’s day. Whoops, look again … it is you who is a little green thing this week and every other week which I couldn’t be bothered drawing especially because you look so much like a sheep and that is just plain non interesting. Thankyou for sticking up for my colours, but you had only just said I was green; I never apologise and you need to graze for a while until that pinkness leaves your cheek };-}

Don’t have an extra leg or facial hair like Rolf Harris. Oh frig, you did it again OperatingRoom!

You sound so very convincing - will stay just for you Holly };-}

I am glad that the mutual admiration society gathered in full. At last. If you ever need a couch, come to the one of your friendly psychic or friendly psychopath (one and the same). I am glad your wee people are still talking to my wee people, or I would have been left in the dark, with just the fleeting horses of previous encounters.
Also: pink, red and white would make for insanely cheerful kitchen colors… All the better to devour your meals.Lily.

It is you who does the entertaining The Crafty-Girl™/Kel, I just swallow the little green things. Don't think a hug will change anything except for your being closer to my clutches };-}

Thank you Jaimie. Yes we all do ... it's an interesting part of Illustration Friday we find delicious.

Yes the water balloons are ready every Christmas for the helicopters to drop so we don't burn Kaboom.

Heheheheee you are SO GREEN Rick Lovell, yummy, yummy! Alas, I can't be that good because not going anywhere. Will bite you anyway };-}

Thanks Tiffy, one who has wild taste :)

An added note ... Because of bush fires my computer will often be cut off due to electricity poles burning down. Do not be alarmed; I will still be breathing and back online to devour when able. Hmmm charcoal chicken.

Teehee, why would I lie };-} They began just a block away from my house here in Australia. Tomorrow we have extreme warnings that the now across all States fires will escalate in the above 35 degrees. We are used to this every year, it’s part of Australian life if you live near the bush. I've evacuated at least forty times during my years. *burp* Excuse me, think I've devoured too many of you. Palak Paneer shouldn't be eaten in such large quantities };-}

Tried turning the Palek Paneer into green popcorn and mouldy old dough but it didn't work Caroline. Have no choice in the matter. It remains tasty; and won't be running to England because of the heat.

Imagining Jody wearing hot pink polyester with light up, sparkling dancing shoes. And disco lights. No, that isn't imagining... it’s happening... creative visualisation!

Tummy IS feeling a little concretized right now Paula. Might have to leave attention for a blink and tend to burping first. Do your eyes have legs?

Thanks Cecilia's Art! Merry Christmas to you too and that is me you are referring to in the image as beautiful. It is me who should be eating, not you :)

Well, we all have our have our price for being tempted back to IF. I don't know if I've quite packed it in yet - it depends on circumstances - but I will miss your work and your discussion! I'm going to link to you soon (along with various other IF friends).
