a quick doodly-oodle about what to do with naysayers, idea poppers, sunshine squashers, whatever you want to call them! most of us know at least a few, and if you're a parent like me you may have even found yourself in the wretched role of having to be one every so often. anyway:

i couldn't settle on one version so i'm keeping both:

every little girl needs both handy at all times. i could have used them growing up!
Heh, definitely liking the second version better! :D
Love both, but the second one is more like it! Ha! ;)
Oh, LOVE it! :)
Love them Aimee! Second one suits me better though I think, I'm just not Zen enough for the first one :)
LOVE these!
second version is more me... even though one might be polite enough not to say it out loud
Mmm - I would say the first one and think the second one!
So...who did you say "up yours!" to?
Yes, both are necessary! a good reminder to stand up for my way, and also to sometimes let others have their way too :)
i'd love to be confident enough to say number one while i'm thinking number two, but usually i just grouse in silence. and fred, you nailed it, it definitely goes both ways!
haha. too funny.
Hahahaha...you're the best. Sweet and salty!
Hehee, I can't see you saying "up yours", out loud anyway. (:
HA! That is just what I needed this morning! Can I give this to my kids????
Words to live by!
both are perfectly fitting!
LOVE THEM BOTH!!!
I'd combine them both:
"la la la... it's my way and I like it. so up yours, you insensitive oaf!"
whaddayareckon? ;)
Life lessons.
aaahhh, definitely the second one. ;)
Love these! I think I could go with either version depending on my mood :) It's nice to have a choice!

This. Is. AWESOME.
The second one, I mean. The first one is probably more kid-friendly, but the second one is more my speed. Heh.
Ha!!! Love 'em both but I am NOT showing the second one to my 15 yr old. She'd like it a little toooo much.
Both excellent...bet the second version sells more!! lol
Hi Aimee,
Hey, these are both great!
They would make great badges or T Shirts!
Happy creating,
Hugs,
Anna
ha!! love them both. :-)
Hah - love it! Perfect timing...I've forwarded a friend this link. She definitely needs it. (As we all do sometimes)
I love them both! Awesome work!
I like them both, though they have very different feelings. The first one is so sweet, but the second one actually made me laugh out loud. I'd keep them both too--for different days.
Thanks for your comment. I've really worked on expressions.
hahaha!
i love it!
the PG version and
THE PG13 version!!
xoxoxo
k
*Like*
How I would love to prominently display version #2 in my cubicle at work :)
love em both... I also love what Nickey said in her comment...she would say the first one and think the second one... i think that sums it up for most of us. :)
ha! I giggled at the second one... I think it's pretty funny that you have such "innocent, adorable, colorful" artwork & then your last line provides that honest, "this is really what I want to say" ending.
it's a keeper.
ok...you just inspired me to hang a bunch of pictures on my wall the way I want and screw the rules.
You've nailed it yet again!
If I still worked in an office, I'd hang the first up with the second mounted to it's back. I'd never be brave enough to say the second, but in my mind I'd know it was there.
i need both of them to remind myself!
you should put the other one up in your etsy shop. after the comment i got on my blog this morning, i'll take it in poster size please.
karen, that deserves billboard size!
oh, how you make me laugh, you little spreader of sunshine, you!!! your doodly-oodle is super-duper, and i'll take the one behind door number 2....xoxo, :))
brilliance, my dear!
love 'em both!
i like owning the power
of the first one being
about ME...
but sometimes i do need
a good venting
like the second version!
i love how
every
word
gets it's own frame & design ~
it is so fitting!
looooooove these!!!!
xoxox
Love them both!
love them both but have to opt for the second one. there's just something fun about saying "up yours." great work!
These are just so perfect...how did you read my mind!? LOL!!!
I agree with most...the second is best....hee hee.
that is so funny.
1. the way we should respond.
2. the way we usually respond.
:)
ha.
ps: thanks for my package! loved it.
those were the the other two i was debating between!
you know me.
Oh this is so super-wonderful!
I think I'll use both ... but it really does matter what mood I'm in!
too funny! i'm so glad i found your blog - i need inspiration to start painting again. would love to be able to sell paintings on etsy. any advice you can give me would be much appreciated! thanks!
the second version is quick and to the point....love it....it would be my choice....
These are awesome!!!
I'm also a big fan of "Bite Me" with a little lift of the boob or turn of the bum while walking away. Difficult to illustrate as it might be. I miss you, friend. Oh, busy fucking days that keep me from you!
HILARIOUS, will e mail you with a new order. love these so much, you know i do!!
I'm thinkin'
glued back-to-back,
to demonstrate
"Chiaroscuro of Intent".
Wicked Good!
Ooooh! A smile and a wink and an "Up Yours" could get this gal into a lotta trouble....
I love it! I need it!
and I´m gonna at least think it when that look from someone is heading my way; up yours! thanks aimee :)
(guffaw) I ADORE this.
My wife just tweeted this and I think she may have had me in mind. I'm a horrible person... all I can think in response is:
"But... but, it's *not* the way it's done!"
Queue OCD twitch.
qube, that is hilarious! thanks for the chuckle!
