I was hunting around for some watercolor paper the other day and came across a watercolor sketch book from the mid 2000’s.
\nIt was just some random small book that I doodled in back then.
\nI have always had such things as far back as I can remember and have lost hundreds of them over the years. It is kinda like that missing sock.
\nSock monsters sneak in and take just one sock from each pair my wife once told me.
\nI think the sock monsters like my sketch books too.
\nAnyways, there was a couple martini themed ink and watercolor pieces in the book that i kinda liked.
\nI don’t recall the physical creation of the works, but i do recall having done them and that I had an idea to do a bunch of martini themed ones at the time.
\nIf I hadn’t misplaced the water-media sketch book I most likely would have done so, but out of sight is out of mind, and I just kinda forgot the idea.<\/p>\n

So, without further further adieu, here they are.<\/p>\n

The Martini Girl.
\n\"martini<\/a><\/p>\n

The Venomous Martini.
\n\"Venomous<\/a><\/p>\n

As a fun bonus I also made from the martini girl a heart shaped cut out image.
\n\"martini<\/a>
\nIt is really pretty stupid, but I invested a whole 5 minutes or so into it and decided WFF, I will post it anyway.<\/p>\n
