LITTLE JOYS: AN ART BLOG
I've never had a notebook where the margins weren't completely masked by doodles. These little pictures were never more than skeletons of thought crafted by a ballpoint pen--but they never failed to bring me joy. Thus, this blog was born: as a way to better understand myself, and to spread some of that joy. My hopes are that my art can convey and inspire positivity. So take a look around, and have a fantasmical day!
Once again, I felt compelled to do something Shel Silverstein inspired. His work is so clever and ironic yet silly and easy to relate with—one of my greatest inspirations. Never forget to appreciate the little things—they are essential to our success. If you can’t read my handwriting, the poem says: There once was a Mr. Big Wig Who belittled little things. For the feel of rain, he felt disdain Feathers never tickled his fancy. He wheeled and dealed with car salesmen Stocked up on stock market profits Two steps at a time, he climbed The staircase of success. His ambition was large, but came with a charge As one day, he was on his way up He bumped into the most absurd of cases He tripped on his untied shoelaces He never learned how to tie them He deemed the feat too small And as he tumbled down, he realized Little things matter after all.

    Never forget to appreciate the little things—they are essential to our success.

    If you can’t read my handwriting, the poem says:

    There once was a Mr. Big Wig

    Who belittled little things.

    For the feel of rain, he felt disdain

    Feathers never tickled his fancy.

    He wheeled and dealed with car salesmen

    Stocked up on stock market profits

    Two steps at a time, he climbed

    The staircase of success.

    His ambition was large, but came with a charge

    As one day, he was on his way up

    He bumped into the most absurd of cases

    He tripped on his untied shoelaces

    He never learned how to tie them

    He deemed the feat too small

    And as he tumbled down, he realized

    Little things matter after all.
