"Fat & Happy"Colored pencil on Bristol Smooth
I have often felt that I would never be taken seriously if I created only cartoon-ish-y art. In fact, that has been true, as I have been rejected at times as a serious artist. I have even canceled listings because when I looked back, I felt it just wasn't good enough. But, there is plenty of "serious" art that doesn't make me feel good, so what good is it after all?
Eh, who cares anymore?!!! I think the goal here is to do what makes you happy, and what you seem to be good at performing. I'm still not sure what I am best at performing, but I'm turning a new leaf and I am no longer going to pout that I haven't really painted a still life since college, (and I'm not upset about it.)
Also, I've been afraid to say I would begin my painting a day challenge just because I know I'd be bound to miss some days. Screw that charade as well!
So, to start small, I will create an aceo a day! Maybe I'll work up to the oswoa size for the Daily Painter's site! I will post some and throw in some more Rhinos and history lessons! yay! I hope you will follow my blog for a little fun now and then!
For all of you who are illustrators and whimsical artists, power on!
Have an inspired day!

You go smelly rhino!!
I think your critter is absolutely adorable!
I love this post, you have a great attitude. I do appreciate people who have superior skills for technical work, I don't have the time or patience right now, so I produce whimsical fun ACEOs. You got to do what makes you happy.
Keep doing what your doing :-)
Thanks Pinky! snort!
I REALLY like this "Happy Dog"! He makes me smile (broadly) every single time I see him!
I agree, if your not doing what makes you happy, why do it!
I love this ACEO, lol it brings a smile to my face!
