How soon is now?

by Patsyfox on February 23, 2010

I’m a fan of the back-up plan, a big fan.  I’ve had a spare cyan cartridge sitting on the shelf since the first of the 24 months my printer’s been saying it needed it soon.  So imagine my displeasure when out of nowhere tonight it stopped saying what it wanted soon and became all about the now.  Magenta – now.  Talk to the hand I told it.  Oh yeh? it said – How’s kinko’s at midnight sound?  And I’ve noticed you’re already in pyjamas. Daaaarrrgghhh.  The printer won.

Besides planning for the illustration class I’m teaching tomorrow, I was also printing a picture to draw from the Fall/Winter 2010/11 Vivienne Westwood Red Label, which I’ve become instantly and more than mildly obsessed with.  The plaid – the plaid! Plaid in pink, plaid in green, plaid with plaid.  Wrap me in it, roll me in it, I love it.

But alas, I am victim to printer fug, and had to think of something else to draw.  I give you… Girl shot with the plaid gun.  Reminding me more than a little of a certain ex-boyfriend who liked to dress in head to toe plaid.  I didn’t mind – it made him easy to find at parties – seen a guy in plaid?
