Illustration Friday: Visitors

I pretty much hate visitors. Not ones I know are coming and plan for, but the drop-in-anytime kind. I don't drop in on others without asking. I wish the Jehovah's Witnesses could take the hint. Not that I mind them coming by, only that I wish they's make an appointment.

Years and years ago, I moved to the beach in NC. a lovely place to visit. I had lived far away for a long time, so I just knew all my family and siblings would just love to come and visit.

Or not.

Now I live in the Arizona desert where it is 115 F every day, and no one visits me. And, at this point in my life, I guess that's good. The drawing is of my longsuffering husband, with a visitor of sorts. He didn't like this drawing very much. It's available on eBay right now. You can also read about how I did it on ottosartsupplyreview.blogspot.com.

PS to my siblings who read regularly and never comment, I know you're there. *

I have to say that this would be among my least favorite visitors... ugh!!! Your DH is truly long suffering; the things you put him through on papaer! Exquisite work!

I am the same way. I drives my husband crazy. He likes drop-inners. I dislike it when people stop by since I am usually not prepared to entertain. I have to psych myself up to get into the mood for a visitor. Scary drawing. I would scream if this happened.

I have to say that this one amused me - then again I'm warped. Your husband looks like a sound sleeper.

Even if my best friend comes by without calling first it irks me. I think it's because I want the house to look better or something. You know, more picked up. Clean even. Well, that just isn't going to happen without a week's notice!
Excellent drawing. Did you read the current story on MSN about the guy who gave his tarantula to the SPCA because it kept attacking him? Nice.
