This morning I recieved an email that basically went like this:
"I like your drawings! Please draw me! Here's my picture!"
(There were a lot more smileys and exclamation marks than that, but for the sake of brevity... ) This is not the first such email I have recieved, and I don't get them that often, but what takes the cake is that I just answered this person with a polite but firm "no" this weekend, and they go and send it again!
[sigh]
Okay, I have work to do.
Oh, in case anyone was wondering: I am Severe Lack of Time Girl! I can't illustrate your fanfic or draw a caricature of you* or design your characters no matter how much I would like to. Your best bet is to become a published author and have your book put on tape and have it interest me enough that I pick it up from the library and listen to it at work, where it will inspire me to doodle up some sketches on my commute.

Today, I have a concentration power of -28. Is ADD contagious? [Place Clone High quote here]
*Unless you happen to be on the same bus as me, have an interesting face, don't look in my direction, and pick a day when I actually feel like sketching on the bus.
