Bringing More of “Me” into My Blog :-)

Posted May 28, 2014

Something I absolutely love to do is graphic art! I just take out my graphic tablet and create away! It has been a long while since I have taken the time to do much of this though, but lately I have gotten back into it. “So,” I thought to myself, “Why not re-design my blog with my own drawings?”

What I wasn’t expecting was to draw myself…but somehow that’s exactly what I did. It is not something I have ever done before, or even contemplated doing.

Once I realized that was where my pen was headed, my hope was to create a whimsical stick figure caricature of myself….with a chefs hat and a bowl and spatula of course! 🙂 The hubbster and my brother think it looks like me….yay!

What do you think?

  I’m laughing so hard Jhuls! I DID think about making a mess all along the bottom of the cloud….just to be accurate and all! Hahaha! Maybe I will have to add some spilled honey and such at some point! 😉 So glad you like it! ❤
