I’m just posting since I haven’t done it every day and I want to stick to a habit. The new habit is going to need to be posting in the morning, because at night I am way too tired! This weekend was fun and exhausting. We went out to a client’s beautiful property where they grow grapes, olives and lavendar. It was amazing vistas in every direction, and beautiful weather. I really would like living out there. It takes an hour to get there, and is not on the way to the beach or anywhere else we go, so we don’t go too often!
Sunday we had my older child’s birthday party. I think it was a success, but planning was very poor and last-minute! Luckily kids don’t seem to mind.
And why is this post related to veganism? Well, my client, who I really like a lot, mentioned in an offhand way that they might possibly do charcuterie in the future as they have some pigs. I’ve been getting very close to lines I am uncomfortable with in my work lately. One of my wine companies needed photos of turkeys for Thanksgiving, and then I was doing illustrations of ham, turkey, prime rib… I find it is harder to do industry dinners since most are focused on meat since that pairs well with red wine especially.
For me to research images of turkey and not find any of them appetizing at all is probably not ideal for the job. At some point soon, I think I will have something come up that I will not be able to do in good conscience.
