Avenge my birthday.

I am supposed to be drawing Loki right now for Wendi.  No, I can't really draw, but thanks for asking.  It's my own fault I suppose.  We had a birthday party yesterday for one of our long-time friends (a guy my age).  Wendi ran to the store to get gift, card etc. when it came to me.  "Don't get him a card" I said, "I'll draw him one".  I thought it would be fun to give him like a kid-like drawn card.  Those are always better than store bought ones anyway, right?

Well one thing led to another and I was late coming home and I still hadn't made the card.  So I grabbed a box of markers, some paper and a book to draw on as we ran out the door.  For the 20 minute drive to their house I madly scribbled.  A table, a cake, some plates....Iron Man, yes this is turning out nice.  The bumpy road was really working to my advantage here.  Captain America was next...of course, followed by Thor (whose head was smaller than the rest Wendi pointed out).  I needed a couple more people gathered around the table so I asked Wendi for some help.

"Draw Loki" she said.
"I can't draw Loki!" I said.
"Sure you can." she said.
"Not and him be recognizable as Loki" I said.
"Fine, then the Black Widow" she said.
"What does she look like" I asked.
"Black suit with red hair" she said.
"Easy enough" I said and I went to work.

Keep in mind that I am scribbling frantically so these people only vaguely resemble the Avengers, but mostly I did it to keep from getting sued.  Then behind all of the other birthday well wishers I drew a big green mass, obviously the Hulk.

As we pull up I pen the birthday greeting "We will AVENGE your birthday" and signed it from us.

It was good for a laugh, which it did deliver.  Who knows, maybe it will make the fridge for a week.

So Wendi says on the way home "If you can draw that good in 20 minutes on a bumpy road, imagine what you could draw if you took your time!"  I tried to explain that it's easy to draw something when expectations are low but not when they are high.  It's like going to a movie that somebody has told you "It's the best movie EVER!!!!"  Don't get me wrong, I liked Halloween Town 2, but there was just too much hype and it didn't even make top 10 for me.

So, I have been tasked to drawing Loki, Wendi's favorite character in the Avengers.  I'm not sure if she realizes that she is cheering for the wrong side, but I don't have the heart to tell her.  I guess I better get to it.
