As canny subscribers to the Patsyfox newsletter already know, I lined up last week like the world’s biggest loser for over 2 hours, just to meet The Sartorialist and get his scrawl on paper. Well of course I already met him last time he was here when I stalked him, so really it was a catch up. Except he seemed to have no recollection of the event until I said “you know, first an e-mail, then me in your face with a camera….?” “Oh yeh, that’s right…” Then quickly before he could call security I whipped out the illustration I did of him from that visit and suggested that if he would kindly sign it I was as good as gone. Which he did. And I was.
So you see, waiting for 2.25hrs with no mints or water behind the 2 guys with really bad breath was worth it. P-fox (rap name) has just confirmed a 1st-birthday Patsyfox exhibition during L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival next March, and this drawing, along with most of the others, will be up for grabs. So thanks Mr S for making it that bit more spesh.
I may have waited in line like a loser, but I’m thinking Patsyfox is the winner. He may have a new TV show in the works, but I have the scrawl. Patience is my new virtue.
Of course those who are onto my lazy tricks will realise this didn’t actually require a new drawing, and since I’ve been too busy at Xmas parties and working on the Patsyfox annual Xmas card to produce one, here’s something I did in life drawing this morning. Damn those 5 minute drawings that look better than the long ones.

CRAIG FREAKEN WEBB - AH,HA! 12.15.09 at 2:59 pm
One swallow does not a spring make, Mz Fox!! Patience – Paaa. You and I both know (as we have both left holes in the same scrap of silk organza that we were cut), that patience is something we were NOT blessed with!
Aside from that, I am thinking of boycotting the Sarts blog – have you see some of the crap he is posting recently?? Whaddup?? Oh and speaking of jive talk…….P-Fox and C-Dub could release a single – we could call it “Get out of my face or I’ll club you to death with my A-Wang Bag!!”. The beauty of the title is that it can be used in almost any situation – waiting in line for movie tickets; hopping on a tram; pop-lockin’ on the dance floor; running in the park; yoga/pilates….anywhere!

You are too funny C-Dub. I must admit my nose grew exponentially while writing that guff – it is true, I am no more patient now than I was a year ago, and that is about as patient as you, and that is why we did so well severing the toes of people that dared be in our path when we were hurtling through foreign cities with our suitcases…! Truth be told it was the pure fear of knowing I’m running out of credit cards and his scrawl on my piece of art would help matters that kept me in that hellmouth line.
As for his latest posts – what the? And hello, no Melbourne?? Bof!
I have started work on lyrics for our single. It’s going to be a smash – get it? (Play on words – that’s cool in song lyrics.)

Meh to the Sartorialist, his photos are quite the bore these days. I’m afraid P-Fox’s (tremendous) illustration somewhat flatters. LOL. The Melbourne photos are rather wack.
