The other day my agent suggested that I might be coming across to my readers as too insensitive and selfish.
"You should tell more stories about yourself where you clearly demonstrate that you are sensitive and full of worries, insecurities and fears just like those humans." he said. So I thought I would give it a go as talking about feelings on the internet could potentially make people send me more gifts to make me feel better.
My good friend (famous super-model whose name I would rather keep private for her sake) invited me to come over to her house that same evening to just chill with her, eat some decent food (cream cakes and pies) and talk about our fears and insecurities.
Well, I listened to her go on and on about love or whatever and kept waiting for her to start serving some food, I was starving! But after 5 minutes of listening to her whining about finding true love or something I was bored and exhausted and I fell asleep.
I never got any cream cakes. I woke up the next morning feeling hungry and disappointed. I felt like crying. I felt like my life wasn't turning out the way I imagined it would. I felt alone and frightened.
Will you send me some cream cakes to make me feel better? You can see I feel all emotional, can't you?
Well, can't you? Then what are you waiting for? Go and get busy baking cream cakes and send them to me via first class post. Hurry.
What are these changes? Am I on the right blog? illustrations are right ones... bit on the confused side.
ReplyDeletep.s. It's cool to share feelins.... only thing is it has ups and downs. :-)
Maya, oh good, are you feeling all confused and sorry for me? Then get busy baking those cakes and send them to me, what are you waiting for?
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, feelings don't suit you cat. You are dignified like Posh Spice. I'm a little disappointed that you caved and listened to your agent. Although at least you were honest about your schemes.
ReplyDeleteMeagan - yeah I know, I don't really do emotions apart from outrage, anger and boredom, but I thought this might make humans send me gifts, I'll let you know if it works.
ReplyDeleteI guess being an artist is a gift and a curse. We are loaded with emotion! Some arent so good, and well, thats part of life. Great illustration by the way. Hopefully you feel better soon.
