So, I have nine days left to get ready for the big ole conference. Yes, that's right, nine days.

Because of the hubby's hard work and dedication his company is sending him and a guest on a little trip. The guest would be me and the trip would be a big deal for several reasons.
Reason number 1. It's to Puerto Rico

Reason number 2. It's our first time to leave the Pud with family. I'm hoping that it will be a case of the parents freaking out more that the child. She is staying with my sil, etc and they are some of the most responsible people I know, yet I still worry.

Reason number 3. The hubby and I never had a honeymoon. This will be our first vacation somewhere without family around.

Reason number 4. The trip was scheduled for the 5th through the 9th. The 9th is Illustrator's Day at the SCBWI conference. So, we asked if we could come back on Thursday, they said yes.

I will bring my camera and my sketch book. But, since this is equivalent to a honeymoon, no work will be allowed. So, I am busting my chops to finish the assignment for the Illustrators Intensive and trying to paint something really cool for the Showcase.

Could this be a contender? It's not finished, I still have to touch up the paint and ink it but I'm thinking it might be in the final three. Is it scary? Can you tell what's going on? Would it impress an art director?

I just don't know.
