Honey Playing Balloon Tennis

She's pretty amazing at it!

As many of you know, family is extremely important to me. My great Aunt Pat, also known as Honey, recently had back surgery. She has been on the road to recovery by attending physical therapy. She has continually gotten stronger, which is no surprise to anyone who truly knows her. When I received her request, I was truly honored to be drawing a picture for her! It took me a long time to finally get around to draw the picture, but I'm pretty proud of the results. 

Honey requested for a picture of her playing balloon tennis with her physical therapist. I'll have you know drawing people playing tennis is a true challenge. People drawing is pretty hard to begin with but I feel like I did a pretty good job. 

Honey has just had another great round of balloon tennis, winning 3-1 in the final round! Her physical therapist, in the green shirt with the dark hair, could not have been more proud and jumped in the air with excitement. Aunt Pat is ecstatic, knowing that one day she will be strong enough to play balloon tennis without her supportive Ninja back vest, pictured on Honey. 

I'm so proud of my Aunt Pat for making such a strong recovery. She is truly an inspiration and a wonderful person to look up to. 

That's all for today! If you have a drawing request, please feel free to comment below, send it to us on our Facebook Page, Tweet it to us, or Tumblr (is that really a verb?) it to us! Until next time. - Sarah.

Happy Birthday!

To me! 

Today is my birthday! I am officially an adult. I cannot get more adult than I am right now. So, enjoy this fabulous blue birthday cake. It's chocolate flavored! Regular posts resume next week on Monday. 

Tap Dancing Pink Giraffes

This Giraffe can do it all! 

This amazing giraffe was suggested by my sister, Lauren, who has made the wonderful suggestion of the Penguin and the Balloon Stand. This newest creations is one of my favorites and was a more challenging drawing. Giraffes are difficult to draw, let alone tap dancing. I was originally going to draw the giraffe tap dancing on all four legs, but it's really hard to make a tuxedo look right when the front of it is facing the ground, so standing giraffe it is.

This Giraffe, named Felix, was part of the wonderful Zoological Academy of Dance in the North American Region, aka ZADNAR. The ZADNAR hosts a yearly recital featuring their best dancing animals. Felix was the star of the show, with his tap dancing abilities, second only to the ballerina hippos that were previously featured in the major motion picture, Fantasia! Felix is very insecure about his feminine color and wanted to balance that out with his blue cummerbund, tie, and cane. He knows that society understands his plights and realizes that pink should no longer be a gender specific color! 

Be sure to send in your requests! I feel like my blog isn't getting a lot of traffic, so if you have to time and the resources, please take the time to go like MS Paint at Work on their Facebook Page, follow us on Twitter, and follow us on Tumblr. Until next time.

Rogaine Foam Contemplations

Meditation and hair, or a lack of it!

This image was requested by the ever talented, Mike! Mike is from Texas and is a dear friend of mine. We have known each other since high school and I know that I can always count on Mike if I ever need anything. This particular old man is a well revered taekwondo master and is currently practicing his meditation, like he does ever morning, to prepare his students to take the taekwondo oath. 

During his meditations, he often reflects back on his life before he lost his hair, as male patterned baldness is very prevalent in more and more men, he considers the possibilities of using rogaine foam's hair growth supplement to attempt to grow back his hair, but he knows that his hair will never be the same beautiful locks he used to have. Until then, he accepts his balding fate and continues training his students. 

Thanks Mike for the awesome drawing idea! If you want to see your drawing realized comment below, and I'll do my best to draw it for you. If you want to keep your request a secret, feel free to email me at mspaintatwork@gmail.com! Until next time. - Sarah

Mama Llama, The Saved by the Bell gang, and Unicorn Love

Mama Llama without the Drama

Many of you know that I have been a babysitter for a very long time. The requester of this image happens to be the mom of the two cutest boys in the world, Cole and Blake. I have been babysitting them since the youngest of the two, Blake, was only about 6 months old, and he'll be starting kindergarten next year! *sobs internally* Elizabeth, Cole and Blake's  mommy, requested a drawing of a Mama Llama and her two baby boy llamas. I had so much fun drawing this image for them, and I know Elizabeth, Cole, and Blake will absolutely adore it! I am so thankful to have such  a wonderful family to spend time with and I am dreading the day when they are too old for a babysitter. Elizabeth is obviously the full grown mama llama, Cole is the llama with a ring around his eye because he wears glasses, and Blake is the smallest llama with the lighter fur. Thanks for the request Elizabeth!

The Saved by the Bell Gang

Now, I know what many of you are thinking, "That isn't what Saved by the Bell is like at all!" I know, but I've never watched Saved by the Bell, so I figured rather than spending countless moments researching Saved by the Bell and what each individual character looks like, it was easier to draw some super hero bells saving the day from unsuspecting gang members! This wonderful drawing was requested by Reddit user DickTank. The main reason I didn't want to draw the cast from Saved by the Bell is that people are really hard to draw, and I have many requests coming up involving real life people and I would like to be able to do everyone justice. I hope you enjoy your drawing DickTank!

Unicorn in Love with a Keebler Elf

Lastly, this image was requested by Imgur user Thingamajiggly. He had originally requested a unicorn and keebler elf making love, but I do not enjoy drawing sexually explicit images. Luckily, he and I both agreed that the two creatures would be best to be depicted in love rather than the latter, for the sake of my readers. Thank being said, I hope you can really see the love between the elf and the unicorn. They're truly a match made in heaven! All of the other woodland creatures are jealous of the perfect relationship between these two. Thank you Thingamagiggly for the request!
