I... Haaad... the Time of my Liiiife, and I Owe it All to YOUUUU
Dirty Paintbrush Version
Welcome to The Nibbler by me, Jill Myer, a bi-weekly missive where I share my passion for illustration, live event painting, creative inspiration, crunchy snacks, and the joy of art.
Hello, my Orange Sherbet Push Pops!
It’s June - The time for tank tops, flip flops, and drippy sticky sweet push pops has arrived!
Happiest of sunny days to you!
OMGOSH! OMGOSH!! OMGOSH!!!
LIVE EVENT PAINTING!
I had the best time, I had the absolute most wonderful, most fantastic time!
My face hurt from smiling so much. I am still doing emotional cartwheels from the excitement!
I want to do it again, soon, like tomorrow!!
I can’t wait to tell you all about it, so let's stop faffing about, and get into it!
BUT JUST SO YOU KNOW!!!
**I am offering a special!**
You will have to click through to the blog (and hopefully read the blog, because I’m hilarious and I know you want to) to find said special offer!
Okay now let’s get on with it!
ON THE BLOG
I AM PASSIONATELY, GLEEFULLY, AND TOTALLY OBSESSED WITH
LIVE EVENT PAINTING & ILLUSTRATION!
?Did you know this was a thing?!!!
I knew,
but I didn’t know,
and now that I know - OBSESSION LEVEL 1000%
In the following essay, I will attempt to use words as inadequate as they are to describe how Live Event Painting & Illustration fills me up to my eyeballs with absolute GLEEE!
Things I am wildly good at in order of importance as it pertains to Live Event Painting & Illustration:
Eating snacks on the sly.
Chatting with anyone at any time in any place about anything, for as long as necessary.
Painting.
Talking to people about painting.
Talking while painting.
Cracking jokes, wise remarks, and pithy comments as needed.
*I have 100% been invited to parties, dinners, and small social gatherings specifically to keep the conversation flowing, the jokes rolling, and any social awkwardness at bay.
**I know you are all shocked by this.I am an entertainer, storyteller, and an influencer of good humor, fun times, silly walks, and gut-busting pants-wetting laughter.
Live Event Painting & Illustration is all of the above.
It is entertaining while painting, it is chatting, making people smile, and being a neutral non-toxic non-aunt-Betty zone.
Are you comprehending the gravity of this situation??!!
I have found the thing, the center of my Venn Diagram, the sweet spot, MY SPOT!
There is just one teeny weenie, itty bitty, wee little baby problem…..
MY CURRENT FAVORITE SNACK
Some days you need a special treat.
A treat to let the rest of the world know you are indeed an over-the-top bougie bitch.
When that day arrives, I’ve got the most fantastic snack ever for you!
French yogurt that comes in a clay terracotta pot!
I mean, can you EVEN?
You can even buy little wooden lids for your terracotta pot, because, of course, you fucking can!
The experience is a whole thing.
But, obviously, a thing you only do on payday.
✨GLIMMER HUNTING✨
