These guys are hairier than I am. Yesterday someone brought in a bunch of calendars to work that were up for grabs. I think people thought it was strange that anyone would want the all gorillas calendar, but I just had to have the photo that I used for this drawing. It's a fabulous photo and I wanted to sketch it. I am thinking I might actually try painting it and rather than drawing it again on the canvas, I man just transfer this drawing onto the canvas. We'll see... I love how the daddy gorilla is kind of playing with his foot like a human baby. It's funny how all my gorillas are smiling. In the photo they look grumpy. I didn't consciously make them smile--they just came out that way. I'm actually thinking I may paint another chicken today.
In non-gorilla and non-chicken news, I was just at Bruegger's and ordered a bagel with a piece of cheese. How simple is that... Well, to someone that is asking her co-worker questions at the same time as I'm trying to tell her what I want, I guess it's not so simple. For example, I said a thin layer of butter on one side. What does she do? She puts a thick coat of butter on both sides. And then I told her twice that I wanted cheddar cheese, but noticed that the slice she was throwing on the bagel was obviously not cheddar, but provolone. I then said, sort of annoyed at this point, "I wanted cheddar." She then has the nerve to say "you said provolone." No, I did not say "provolone." "Cheddar" sounds absolutely nothing like "provolone" and when have I ever ordered provolone, anyway? I would have hated to try to order something complicated with her... As someone that does customer service and knows how important it is to listen to what people have to say, I would give her two thumbs down, way down. I bet my gorillas could do a better job.

I'm finding that you can't get good customer service in a lot of places these days....very frustrating. I imagine not many competent people will work for low pay and so this is what we get.
Love the big hairy apes. It amazes me how you can draw anything and I can't even draw a stick figure!
Hmmm, I didn't think anyone was askance at you taking the calender, it seemed to me that it made perfect sense to all of us that you would want the gorilla one! The drawing is excellent. I don't think your hen laid you an egg though, even in the wee hours, as she looks a bit roosterish to me. Perhaps a transvestite chickie. The drawing for the weekend drawing event was just wonderful---sorry I did not get that out there earlier. Your blog is a pleasure, and I know your Mom is happy that you are keeping up the vaccumming.
i love the fowl painting and the guerilla drawing. Delightful both. As for customer service, well, gee you surely did not get it with that bagel trip. Harumph on that bagel fiasco.
