Illustrator Happy Menocal's sketchbook is full of wry, colorful studies of everything from peacocks ("Fashion Week") to wigs ("Hairs") to fancy cheese ("Diet Coke Pairings").  She'll even create a custom portrait of your pet. Her website has something for everyone–a particularly appealing quality with Christmas only a week away. For the especially time-pressed or decision-averse, we have compiled a slideshow of her new matador paintings. Her inspiration for the series? "The matador represents the kind of guy I am attracted to: flamboyant, cool, destructive. I also identify with the matador: all the time I spend suiting up in spangles and making absurd gestures, only to be gored in a big dirt pit. But there are also triumphs! I am of course troubled–horrified–by the fact that the bull has not consented to the ritual." Certainly you know someone who can relate to that.
