A LOL

 

I’m penciled in a cartoon strip sketch lately. Funny little drawings with clever colors, bold outlines with crazy cracking captions are what is making me smile every day. Reading cartoons was more of a passerby look for me but now I spend bonus seconds on each column of cartoons. 

There is a world of detail in just a 3 by 3 inch feature. And, I have to admit, the flush of colors are painting my mind’s inner world and its at that moment where I want to write, to design, to explore! I know my day shines up a shade when an arch curves up to my face and its incredible how it remains. 

And the miracles a line can do! Its turns a frown up to a lazy smirk, adds on extra pounds on a lady or slims down a figure, defines a boundary, not between love and hate in life, but between two cranky neighbors, gives hair to a baby, outlines an umbrella, puts a shed on house, makes letters, gives features to a bird and on and on and on. Its almost foolish to start to name.

Its a knack. Artists have a consecrated forte from the 7^th sky to come down to earth and use a piece of paper in the most artistic, original and imaginative technique. Of course there is yoga and breathing exercises for mental peace but that’s only because the scientists are coming up with a fancy word for the world to believe that therapeutic healing lies here!
