Illustration Friday—Perennial
July 23, 2011
The Sleep Fairy. She’s been with us since the beginning of time and will remain until the end, the epitome of “perennial.” She’s rather tired and easily confused and, for the unlucky, her usual rounds of sweet lullabies and warm milk have been replaced with raspy complaints and hot coffee, repelling coveted slumber.
For all you deadline-daunted and sleep deprived, may The Sleep Fairy wake up and fly right tonight.

Nothing Worth Stealing 
Beautiful, but tonight I’ll try not to drink coffee! 🙂
The Sleep Fairy is being wicked, eh? Bringing around coffee instead of milk!? She certainly has a lot of character and charm!
She has been visiting me frequently since I’ve discovered IF. Tell her to bring along some sand next time, will ya? Love your style!
She is a hoot! Love your style!
Great work.
I absolutely love this.
Thanks all!
Hopefully last night warm milk and soft lullabies were issued by Ms. SF and maybe Mr. Sand Man accompanied the ol’ gal on her rounds paving the way for sweet dreams and brilliant ideas.
OOooh, Penny! This one is just hilarious! I love that bucket of coffee–poor thing. LOL
You always bring such smiles to my face. I adore your work–the humor and pathos in this poor little faery’s face is genius.
((hugs))
By the way–I forgot to ask, what size and subject, piece of artwork would you be willing to exchange? I’m just SO excited. ((hugs)) I’ll also need your addy–but do send it via email.
By the way, that darling dratted fairy visited my house last night. Didn’t get much shut eye. LOL Now I know why!
So THAT’s what she looks like! Perfect!
Wow, she taunts me most nights and she looks just like this! So now, I know others know she really exists!!! lol! Absolutely wonderful and delightful! 🙂 🙂
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I so was on the sleep fairy coffee high this weekend (and even gained a few extra pounds thanks to the stress Oreos) but I did 20 out of 16 in TWO DAYS! Can I tell ya, I don’t even care if they are c**p it is the fact I did them, before deadline and still have energy for more. I can’t thank you enough for your positive energy and this wonderful sleep fairy delight! She is perfect (and please ask her to hand over that ladle).
She’s fabulous! Your written captions had me really chuckling…And that bucket of coffee is my favorite part!
