on the drawing board: at play

It really does lift my mood when working on a fun themed piece. It seems too often people think art has to be moody (in a somber sort of way) to be legit or held in any sort of high regard.  The darker emotions are certainly valid, but I think wonder, hope, glee, euphoria etc. are equally important to the human experience.  For me it's my upper, my light that helps get me through life.
