Wonderful pages and blog entry. I'm very, very curious about the "Just for Men" advert. LOL.

OMG Until i clicked on all sizes, I thought you had photographed a pen lying on the notebook! As for the inquiries about your choice of pens, I think deep inside, many of us (welll, at least me!) think that if we could get our hands on the right tools, our work might be a lot better! In fact I swear that good tools help me do better work, while a really accomplished artist can do good work with ANY tool! Like you!

Gosh. Wow. I seriously didn't expect this kind of response. I'm really flattered, guys, thanks. This was one of those drawings where I kept thinking 'how mad is this exactly?'.
The Just For Men is an awful advert. It's American ad for a hair dye for men (obviously). I guess the product is called something else in the US. It is disgustingly shmultzy (have no idea how to spell that word, I've never actually used that word before it just seemed fitting). Horrible.
Cheers, everyone.

I, like Ryan, spent a bit of time relishing every inch of this drawing!! I liken it to enjoying a really good glass of wine, savoring every bit and enjoying the moment. De-lish Andrea! Totally! (And I like the ruler!)
wagonized (58 months ago | reply)
Oh wow. So you went ahead and drew the grid -- all those little squares, they bring such a nice canvas. Hahaha -- and i think Just For Men is Just For Men here too -- but what do i know, it's been 4 months since i last watched TV.
The see-through ruler kicks ass!

fisserman (58 months ago | reply)
I guess you convinced me by accident then... Really like it!
sean_hickin (58 months ago | reply)
Really excellent artwork; this really fooled me at first. Such a great idea and wonderfully realized.
BTW I agree completely about the 'Just for Men' advert!

andrea joseph's illustrations (58 months ago | reply)
Thank you all so much, folks.
I'm astounded, humbled, overwhelmed, etc by the repsonse to this drawing on the internet. You wouldn't believe what has happened due to this. I'll tell you someday.
France, I absolutely want to get rid of my tv. Really really I do. I just cannot tear myself away!
Steve, perhaps we shoul start a Journalling Hall of Fame. Sounds like a great place.
Sean, it is vomit making isn't it? The JFM ad - not the drawing (I hope!).
Thanks again Flickr folk.

Thank you all, folkies.
You're great!
kayork (58 months ago | reply)
Well, Andrea, I do have to say that you are great, too! We just love your drawings, especially complex ones like this with lots of writing so we can study it and try to get inside your mind, which seems like such a wonderful place! :)
Awesome!

It's beautiful. Makes we want to drop everything and get to drawing something myself. I don't usually use blue though, once you go black.....
andrea joseph's illustrations (58 months ago | reply)
Cheers folks.
Kathleen I'm not sure about it being a wonderful place. A chaotic place, I think. But, I'm glad you like the chaos.
Thank you all guys. I appreciate you all taking the time to comment.
