Snicketober day 29 - "Canon Divergent" Just Lemony asking yet another wrong question.

Snicketober day 29 - "Canon Divergent" Just Lemony asking yet another wrong question.

Snicketober day 26 - "Marriage" Probably the evilest scheme I've ever read in a kids' book tbh

Snicketober day 22 - "On the lam" No rest for weary paws.

Snicketober day 16 - "Favorite Ship" Some Lady and the Tramp vibes here, but, you know, complicated. And tragic.

As a bonus, here's the drawing I did first to figure out what Beatrice would look like:

Actually that's a really good question and one I should have been putting more thought into! I got lucky with Lemony's one floppy(er) ear, that actually came together by accident! Olaf is a borzoi, and his tattoo can be seen easily, but that never bothered me since he is always getting caught in the books because of it and trying to hide it. I figure if a VFD dog has pointed ears, it can be up to them - hide it with an accessory? (Not too strange since a lot of my Snicket Dogs wear hats!) Or just wear it out in the open like so many Count Olafs? I guess it would depend on which dog it is and how they feel about it.

Also, the tattoo being in the ear would change the lyrics of that "Little Snicket Lad" song, and so I did make a doodle making fun of that, too!

Snicketober day 13 - "Least Favorite Character," a prompt which here means "Character I'd most enjoy hitting with my car." (Unfortunately he is really, really fun to draw)

Snicketober day 9 - "Underrated Character"

(Prompt by @free-my-boy-grumbot)

Snicketober day 4 - "Death"

This also counts as "Favorite Ship"* (I'm boring and sad) *I have a different idea for that prompt though, if I can pull it off) 🐾

Snicketober day 3 - "The Snickets"

Happy (???) 25th Anniversary to Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events!

Went to a meet-and-greet with Daniel Handler/Lemony Snicket at Doylestown Bookshop last friday! This is the second time I have met him, the first time I didn't expect to see him.* I don't like my photo taken but I love the funny photos he takes with everyone, so as a kind of last minute idea I asked if he would pose "with" my Snicket Pup (which I had shown him last time we met, lol) and I was prepared for him to say absolutely not, but...not only did he do it, he nailed it. I just told him to do whatever he wanted and I love how it came out! He said he always wanted to know what it would be like to be Bob Hoskins in Who Framed Roger Rabbit so I hope I got the right vibe. *It was at a play he was workshopping and everyone told me he'd probably be there but I was a fool and thought of course he wouldn't be, he'd be watching it remotely at MOST, why would be be in New Jersey?? Yeah so of course I was wrong about that. I'm an idiot.

He also signed some books for me and I gave him a gift (a hand typed/bound/illustrated book, my translations of a small collection of 100 year old works by Kenji Miyazawa). It was such an amazing experience, once again! If you ever get a chance to meet this wonderful man, do!
