"Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy."
Max Ehrmann, "Desiderata"

Dr. Trimegistas Toyt Eggotistus
Dr. Trimegistas Toyt Eggotistus, The Egocentric Barber Turned Toy Maker Who Loves To Volunteer And Tell Everyone About Her Good Deeds. 8"x10" pen and ink on 11"x14" Bristol Board. No. 7 of the Lesser Known-Dumptys.
Such attitude she has! Ha! I'm cracking up at all of the high waist pants dialogue..I agree..plumbers crack is rampant with the styles these days. You have mmmmmmaaaaaaaaddddd geometric skills Ces. Love her face and very cool coifed hair. As she is a barber, who does her hair?! : ) I'm assuming she does, so she has maaaddddd skills too. I'm wishing you a fabulous mother's day dear Ces! Hope you get spoiled rotten! Tsup!!
Oh what fun! The checks remind me of Maxfield Parrish. Come to think of it, he did a Dumpty too! But only the oh-so-obvious one... whereas you are quite the hipster with your arcane Dumptys.
p.s. Once again, I have taken up your challenge! "Mouthy" is up on O&C!
Is that facial hair (singular) hiding a dimple, or dimple hiding a hair? Never had a barber-doctor, but there was this nurse...oh well, forget that. Dr. T.T.E. (Tight Trouser Egg?) She--or HE, looks like would be a tough nut to crack. Shell...SHELL, I meant S H E L L! OK, Dr T?
Why do I wish you could keep rolling out these drawings day after day? Is it for the intellectual stimulation? Entertainment value?
No one does checks like my Cesalicious!!! I LOVE the simplicity of the background with the business of the floor and THAT OUTFIT! Tres chic! Love love love Deb ♥♥♥
Psychedelic! I love me an egg with sexy eyebrows. Let's bring back the high waisted pants!
ReplyDeleteYes, bring back the higher waisted pants, especially for men, because plumber's crack is way too easy with the current jean cut. :O
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Dr.TTE just moved a bit, I almost missed her against that floor. You sure she's a SHE? Looks like a HE. heh heh
Oh no, I know she is definitely a she but she is a she who thinks she is a he, I think. :)
DeleteWhaaat? I thought it was definitely a he who thinks she's a she.
DeleteActually it is an IT because it is an egg.
DeleteAlso, if I give him/her/it low waist pants, if you see a crack, it is because he/she/it is really cracked.
DeleteI agree with Bella!! he is a good looking egg. Hey, Ces!!! Missing my twin sister friend!! xxoxoxo
