Judging from the reaction, this may have been my
best costume ever. I know I said the same thing last year and the year before that. I'm getting older and trying to remain as flexible as possible which requires changing your mind a lot and of course no one wants to think their best work is behind them. Originally I wanted to be a "Barrel of Monkeys." That would have been quite a bit more work but I felt it would be no more effective. The costume says naked although most of me is covered. Karen said the barrel bounced nicely when I walked and was funny enough with no monkeys.
I love the Illustrators Party. I am proud to keep company with such a wonderful, creative group of professional artists and their families.
