an animated conversation
Are you making another loopy cartoon thing?
“The current LoopdeLoop challenge is “Window”. I’ve made a loop but I haven’t submitted it yet.”
Is that because it’s too angry? You said you had to do something with your anger.
“It’s a child doing a handstand near a window that opens and closes.”
Please tell me you slammed the window. “Not really”.
What’s that?
“It’s my Ned Kelly painting.”
It’s got a dress and curly hair. “I know”.
Who is that dear? “It’s The Angry Old Woman … I think I need to let her have her say this year.”
What, you mean here? In this space? “Maybe not here but in my own life.”
Well I call that enigmatic, dear. “And I call it wish fulfilment.”
“Merry Christmas, Mum.”
Yes dear and Merry Christmas to everyone.
“Merry Christmas to everyone … and Peace please.”
“When I’m short tempered I realise how much I’m just like you.”
I don’t know what you’re talking about. Me, short tempered? I should coco. Wherever did you get that idea?
“Let me think. Where did I get that idea from?”
“I’m feeling very short-tempered.”
I know. I can see that. Plain as a pikestaff. Look at that gif thing you just made!
Did you draw your shoe cartoon?
“I did. It’s called “Shoe Heaven” and it’s up on the LoopdeLoop site as I speak.”
Aren’t you a clever girl! Are they nice shoes? Can I see them?
“Of course. Here they are.”
“The endless cycle of desire. A pair of new shoes could make my life perfect.”
Are you going to make another animation gift loop thing then?
“If I can finish in time I’m going to have a go at the current “LoopdeLoop” challenge … Shoes.”
Shoes? Well now you’re talking. I could go on forever about Shoes.
“Remember I thought I broke the Interwebs with my animation?”
I’m not speaking to you. You were very rude to me in that last post.
“I only said that what you said about ink not mattering was stupid. Not that YOU are stupid.” You called me stupid. “I didn’t Mum. Look … I just want to tell you that I didn’t break the Interwebs.
My animation is up on the LoopdeLoop site for the Fear theme.”
Well hoopdie-hoo.
No more Queenie drawings? “No Mum. Inktober 2018’s over now. It’s quite tiring you know.”
But you cheated on that last one, didn’t you. You said you would use that Kuretake brush pen for every drawing …
… And I saw you use a dip pen for that last one, the Pirate. “Oh that. The ink that came with the pen ran out and the bottle I bought as a refill just wasn’t the same … I couldn’t draw with it. “Well I just call that being fussy. If you were a proper artist it wouldn’t matter what the ink was like.
“Mum. I am just going to say this out loud this time. That is a really stupid thing to say.”
