Quite silly, but...

[mistressofmuses]

I got to do a silly art project for work.

Our entire company is... cripplingly understaffed. Summer is our busiest season, but we have NO available appointments until late August. Some offices have nothing until September. (That's part of why the whole flu-covid double whammy going through the office is so brutal. When we have to cancel on people, we have very little to offer them.)

So, any instructors who offer to add extra time, in addition to having blanket overtime approval, also get a raffle ticket for every appointment they add. At the end of the summer there'll be a raffle drawing for prizes. Giftcards and stuff.

So I was given an empty pretzel container, and a set of ten crayola markers dug out of the supply drawer and was tasked with decorating the raffle bucket, lol.

I'm not THAT creative, so I went with a fishbowl design... because my manager wants to grow our location to the point they have to get us a bigger office, and I said that we were goldfish trying to grow to the size of our container.

So this was a very silly, work-driven "art" project... but I'm still proud of my silly little marker-drawn fish. It's the first thing I've drawn in probably a year or more.




My fishbowl.


Little purple fish.


Goldfish.


Crab!


Blue tang.


Betta and yellow tang.

(I am most proud of my betta fish, lol.)


Clownfish and butterflyfish.

(Also proud of the butterflyfish.)

I feel like they're not too bad for a minimal set of crayola markers and the highlighters I had at my desk, lol.

i can see why you're proudest of the betta and butterflyfish! nice color blending. i'm partial to the crab myself but that's because i really like crabs.

[mistressofmuses]

Thank you! :D The crab is my third favorite! Crabs are awesome.

It's cute! I like the crab :)

[mistressofmuses]

Thank you! I also do like the crab.

This is so cute! You could save them and stick them in a scrapbook or sketchbook once the raffle is over (assuming no one else wants to save the jar afterwards).

[mistressofmuses]

Thank you!

If we don't save the jar, I probably will take my fish. I'll stick 'em in my habit tracker or something, haha.
