Description
I had a hard time waking up this morning. (It's an old gag, Garfield's done it often enough, but some sentiments are universal....)Mixed media, 9 x 12 on hotpress arches. The dragon from "Inchwyrm" just kinda appealled to me, and I felt the need to revisit that style (if not the absurd body styling.) Original is for sale, prints available, visit [link] or send an note!

I absolutely LOVE this!!!
It is so me. I saw it and loved it on the Ellen Million (?) site months ago.
I hope you still have it there, because as soon as I get a little extra cash, I want to get it on a t-shirt!

I am neither a morning person nor a pleasant person to be around the REST of the day (that is, a dragon-lady). So, I relate! Yayrelate!
Ohyeah, and .

a classic never dies, and some are just more expressive in a favorite medium (dragons!)
Very nice!

Wow...just wow. I mean, I've been looking through your gallery, and I LOVE EVERYTHING IN IT! I just HAVE to fav this for sure though, for the mushrooms and that adorable sleepy dragon that I can SO identify with. That is totally me in the morning.

I think that's definitely a sentiment we can all sympathise with!
Wonderful piece - I really do love the amount of character and personality you manage to work into your art. Each of your creatures are so lovingly created, and have the most endearing of expressions! Of course, your fabulous skills as a painter compliment that beautifully. You really are a master of your craft, that's for sure. Your works certainly show that you have a brilliant sense of humor, too. (It's always a joy to see an artist unafraid to have a giggle into the deal!)
I'm rambling a bit, sorry, but what I really have to say regarding this piece specifically is that the look on it's face is truly masterful - I don't think I've ever seen the famous (and oh-so-familliar) 'coffee zombie' look portrayed so well before. Simply Brilliant!
...And now, I have the strangest of urges to go and make some strong coffee. Thankyou for that. Hehe.

Yes, I too, am not a morning person. I feel the little dragon critter's pain. I love his design, his markings and the back two talons just somehow make him cuter.

neat.
mornings have been hell for me. i wake up sick, sick to the bone. plus i had been up all night tossing and turning because I could hardly breathe because I'm allergic to some unknown... thing in the air at my house. Theoretically, it's cat dander. But there's no way I'm getting rid of the cats. But yeah, when I sum it all up... I wake up cold, coughing, with an aching back (ever have your back ache from coughing so much?), nearly passing out after scaling a set of stairs (coz when you can't breathe, going upstairs is like a death wish).
oh man... i hate mornings.
