"Water! Please! I need water!," the guy cries to the man.
The man says "I don't have any water, but I have some beautiful neckties."
"NECKTIES!", the guy screams, "I need WATER! WATER! I don't want a tie!" ― and he crawls off.
The guy comes across another man in the desert. "Water! Please! I need water!," the guy pleads to the man.
"Well, I don't have any water, but I have some ties. Look at these great ties." the man says.
"Again with the TIES!?," the guy cries, "I don't need any ties! I NEED WATER! WATER!!"
"I got ties," the man says. The guy, disgusted, crawls off.
Just over a sand dune, the guy comes upon a huge restaurant ― right in the middle of the desert! He struggles to crawl up the front steps of the restaurant, pleading for water. A maître d' in a tuxedo is standing at the doorway. "Please," the guy says, "Please! I need water!"
The maître d' looks down at him and says "I'm sorry. I can't let you in without a tie."

This week's challenge is in honor of World Water Day. The world water crisis is one of the largest public health issues of our time. Nearly 1.1 billion people (roughly 20% of the world's population) lack access to safe drinking water.
Your assignment is to illustrate THIRST. It can be relevent to World Water Day, serious, humorous, abstract, etc. - as long as it represents thirst.
Good luck and have fun!

A slight departure from my usual thing here.
Last night I watched Live from Lincoln Center. It was the Mostly Mozart Festival with the Mark Morris Dance Group doing the dancing and Emanauel Ax doing the piano playing.
It was fabulous.
It took me back to the 80's when I was in school at the Academy of Art. Mark Morris was doing a performance somewhere in town, and wanted some of us from the school to go over and draw them all dancing so they could hang the drawings in the lobby for the performance.
Well. I was one of the chosen few. I didn't know who he was, and thought we were going to watch some regular ballet dancers rehearse. WRONG.
They danced and we tried to draw (we could all draw well, usually, but have you ever tried to draw dancers dancing? not easy) and I was blown away.
It wasn't airy-fairy pointy toed Swan Lake kind of dancing. It was the most elegant, limbs-at-odd-angles, thumping the floor, witty, playful, intelligent moving around by people I'd ever seen.
And him! Look at him. This beautiful, cherubic creature with the curls, and how he danced. I'm swooning, remembering. We went to the actual performance as well, and it was exhilarating.
If you get a chance to see the company dance anywhere, DO.
And I must add that Emanuel Ax is no slouch at the piano, either.
This is brilliant! wow! Great work Honor!
awesome!
Ooooo-ooo-ooo....Nice, Honor!
