I've watched too much TV.<br /><br />Anyway, I was very surprised and delighted to see that my topic was chosen for <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com">Illustration Friday</a> this week. Too bad the word I submitted was <i>Clear</i>. For the last few weeks <i>IF</i> has had themes that related to translucency (<i>Ghost</i>, <i>Wind</i>, and <i>Smoke</i>), so as a sort of joke I entered a bunch of topics that mean <i>clear</i>. Like <i>crystal</i>, <i>translucent</i>, <i>see-through</i> and <i>limpid</i> (yeah, I used a thesaurus).<br /><br />Couldn't Penelope have picked my word when it was <a href="http://www.jimmyjanesays.com"><i>Peas</i></a>? Oh well! My website hits are way up, and I got to draw my first portrait of Ben Stein!
