Meet the characters:
Humor
Interjecting smiles and giggles — even laughs– can brighten lives — yours and others you meet. I found that, when I’m approaching a sales clerk or a fellow customer, there are opportunities for some form of humorous exchange. It begins with eye contact. This brief connection sets the stage. Perhaps a brief smile is exchanged. A quick comment can follow, and from there other remarks can follow with possible fun quips. I had this little drama play out at a used book store recently. We exchanged some brief quips and even a laugh. When I left, I had a positive feeling which set my day on a high. Humor, don’t leave your mind without it.
ART
Different areas of creativity. Different typefaces and colors. Areas of media and materials and people.
Play
Here we have a group vigorously engaged in some kind of raquet game. The P has just smashed for a score, although we can’t quite make out what it is he hit. Perhaps we should call the game squash?
Kind
What do you think the letters of KIND are saying?
Totem
My version of the Indian Totem Pole. The individual letters are talking: Top T “I can see forever. I’m on top of you other guys.” O “Brag, brag brag!” Other T “I feel left out” E “How dya think I feel?” M “I’m happy where I am right now.”
What do you think they’re saying?
CHEERS!
Make today one to win!
Snuggle (from the Cold Weather Channel)
The weather man always declares a Snuggle Alert when he forecasts a cold night. This is my notice.
eyes
Most of my WordToons are doodled using block letters. Here I decided to combine with line letters. This allows me to express the word emphasizing the two es to become the major characters, There are endless possibilities for making words into visual statements.
