One dreary night in January, I woke up around 2 a.m. with my mind reeling about EVERYTHING. Work, family, friends, money… you name it, it was swirling in my brain. So, I decided to go downstairs and sketch. This is my way of relaxing and reigning in my focus. So I gathered my pencils, pens, and pad and slunk downstairs to create. My mind was cluttered with everything else, that my creative side was… how should I say it… blocked.
As I sat down and I grabbed this coffee table book my nephew gifted me called “Geek Girls Unite”, which is a cute little read outlining all types of geeky ladies. BAZINGA! As I flipped through the book, I was inspired to sketch out different character or moods of women, combined with my fascination with cameos, and this was the beginning of The Women Cameo series. Obviously, there are tons of “geek” girls, but my focus was on all the other types of ladies from the preppy ones, fashion snobs, outdoor enthusiasts, goofy souls, and eccentric ladies that fill our homes, work, grocery stores, and streets. Even if we are a combination of these ladies, it’s fun to celebrate our unique side.
The first lady I created was The Weirdo. When I moved to North Carolina about 5 years ago, I had a black bob and a few tattoo’s which are definitely not the norm in this part of the South. Often when we would go out I would get “… you are not from these parts, are you?…” or “… you must be from L.A. or NY…”, which made me laugh at the time and recently fueled my desire to create The Weirdo Cameo. We all (tattoos or not) have a bit of a Weirdo side to us. Whether it’s in our creative flare, how we view the world, our profession, and/or hobbies, the weirdo resides in us all.
The Wierdo is a lady who does things her own way. She expresses herself even when her dress or behavior may seem eccentric to others.
So, what is your Weirdo side? Do you embrace it, or hide it?
