Adventure #75: That's three quarters of the way to 100 Adventures, people!!!

Dear Jo (and Anyone Else Reading This),

Okay, in the adventure before my last adventure, I made some mention of an announcement and a painting inspired by a certain good girl.

The painting:

theperfectcouple

Meet Fawn & Ferris, the perfect couple. 

Why are they they perfect couple?  Well...he's a magician with only one trick -- pulling a rabbit out of a hat.  But HIS rabbit refuses to participate in that trick.  So he's really a magician with no tricks. 

And SHE'S a princess with a frog that absolutely will not transform into a prince, no matter how many times she kisses him, no matter how much she begs, no matter how much she pleads.  Somehow...the no-trick magician and the no-prince princess are just right for each other, but they just don't realize it -- yet. 

Well, Miss Jo(hanna), I bet you're wondering how you inspired that one! Or maybe you remember making this comment (can I trade my frog in for a new one...I think he's broken ...& perhaps also broke!  Bummer :D) on this post?  Yes, the original idea for the painting was a little girl at a pet store, wanting to exchange her frog for one that was NOT broken and would properly morph into a handsome prince when smooched.  However, I apparently don't paint pet store  return & refund counters good, so after about six failed attempts at getting the sketch to even remotely resemble a pet store return & refund counter, I had to move on (though I may make a seventh attempt in the future!).

Ooh, and as for the announcement...wait a second...let me put on my Deep Manly Announcer Voice...wait another second, I don't HAVE a Deep Manly Announcer Voice, so bolding my font will have to do:

In addition to Etsy and my website and out of the trunk of my car, etc., I'm super duper excited to now be selling my art at Glitter & Grunge!  Each month, there will be at least one piece for sale there that you won't be able to get anywhere else -- but this month, all four of my pieces (it's The Perfect Couple, the Besties original, All Packed Up & Nowhere to Go, and the little captain girl) for sale there are Glitter & Grunge exclusives! 

If you've never stumbled upon Glitter & Grunge before, you should go check it out -- there are some amazing artists, including MiMissy Ballance, who is running the show, and I'm so happy to be a part of it.
