Once upon a time i stumbled across some cartoons on the internetweb that i instantly fell in love with. so i called up the artist, a complete stranger who lives in america and asked him to marry me. he said no, but we did make some beautiful ads together, and those are kind of like my babies, so it’s almost like we got married and had children. but not really.
he’s still making cartoons, and has just launched a fricking cool book. look at some of his stuff and then you’ll understand why i’m so smitten. and check his movies over here too: http://www.ingredientx.com/main.htm only because i’m still a laggard, which means i’m not smart enough to know how to post a movie yet. baby steps.
of his work, lev says: ‘it’s stuff you think about but don’t talk about’. oh his name’s lev by the way.
here’s the copy out of that cartoon, in case it’s so small you can’t read it. i actually retyped the whole lot for you. that’s how much i like it. and you of course. so no pressure to read it, but it was a lot of work. i’m just saying.
31 possible reasons why she isn’t calling me back
she’s in the shower, she fell asleep. she’s washing her hair. she had to stay late at work. she’s on the phone with her mom. her best friend is very depressed. she’s painting her toenails. she decided i was boring. she decided i was ugly. she decided i was too skinny. she didn’t like the sweater i was wearing. she left her phone at home. she’s at a ballet lesson. she’s at the grocery store. she’s got a flat tire and is waiting for AAA to show up. she is working on her posture by walking around with a book on her head. she’s mad that i mixed up her name once. she decided i was spineless because i asked her what she felt like doing instead of telling her what we were going to do. she decided i wasn’t confident because i didn’t brag about myself much. i didn’t act like enough of an asshole. she was looking for someone who would instantly take all her problems away, but i didn’t figure out what her problems were fast enough, and therefore i couldn’t take them away. she’s making out with her old boyfriend. she decided she was a lesbian. zorro rode into the store she works at and swept her off her feet. she’s having sex with charlie sheen. she’s been on the phone with all her friends telling them how in love with me she is. she’s busy writing ‘i love lev 4-eva’ on her spiral-bound notebooks. is busy geting a ‘le’vs #1 girl’ t-shirt made. is on her way to my house with a bottle of wine & a garter belt. decided her love for me is so great and intense, that she didn’t deserve such happiness. smoked a joint after work and is now searching for Hucleberry Hound cartoons on YouTube.
hopefully if you click on them they’ll come up bigger on your screen so you can read them. if not, oh well it’s a monday, and that’s when crap things happen to you anyway.
Paige darling – you make me miss days in an ad agency. Just being around creative brilliance, exquisite humour and fabulous people. I think I also would have asked Lev to marry me 😉
